i concur 100% with martijn. zope is an application server and not a design tool for web pages. everyone who has seen the code produced by these design "tools" (first and foremost frontpage, the true tool for dummies) can see that it's an insult to even the most superficial of html-writers. i am constantly amazed at how the "convenience" of WYSIWIG in frontpage and other editors can blow up a little text without formatting into something 10 times the size choc full of application- and platform-specific "html", if one can still call it that. this is something zope should not strive for. jens Jens Vagelpohl Systems Administrator Washtenaw Development Council

Zope was designed for Web Application Developers, not designers. The documentation follows this design. I actually feel that dummies should stay away from Zope. Frontpage is for dummies. </snippers>
