Hi Simon,
I am on the XStandard dev team. I am not going to do a sales pitch on this list but I will say that XStandard was designed for the requirements you described. There are no font-selectors or color-pickers to hide because these tools create non-standards compliant markup, hence these tools are not part of the XStandard. Check out this article to see what XStandard does to make markup accessible and standards-compliant: http://xstandard.com/page.asp?p=58E6C3F7-E5DF-414F-8AA5-4C8BD2BEFE2A Also, you might want to validate the Web sites of WYSIWYG editor vendors to see if their sites validate: http://validator.w3.org Regards, -Vlad XStandard Development Team http://xstandard.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Chalmers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 9:32 PM Subject: [WSG] Restricted HTML Editor? > I recently spent heaps of time building a site using css and > standards-compliant HTML pages.
