Choice of HTML editors
I'd be interested in what experienced Zope developers use. HTML I've seen output from FrontPage is rather verbose and complex. I personally use the freeware version of AceHTML and largely write my own simple HTML with it. I assume the development process is create the basic page layout in an editor and then insert Zope tags. What are the "best practices" people use in this regard? Best Regards Ian Nunn School of Computer Science Carleton University, Ottawa, ON, CA

I'm not sure there is something like "best practices". I personally use Vim to edit HTML, and when it comes to a new site I create a "sample" page without any code first to define things like design and layout. This sample page becomes the model for the main template to be used throughout the site. It becomes obvious at that point where you might want to add slots that can be filled depending on where your variable elements are that change from page to page. jens

Learn HTML and use a good text editor. Seriously. If you're involved in a CompSci department, then you shouldn't have any trouble picking up the skill, and it will serve you much better than any pseudo-WYSIWYG editor. Put in a way you might appreciate: which produces better source code, a human or a code generator? In the case of a knowledgable human (which you should be), the former will almost always be true. -- Kirk Strauser The Day Companies
Ditto, Learn HTML/CSS... I use Homesite 5.5/Topstyle and its integrated FTP tool zings the DTML/Python Scripts back to Zope, great search/replace interface. -Jon Kirk Strauser wrote:

MSWordDocument
I know nothing about MSWOrdDocument and I could not find it through Google. The recommended way to store Word documents with Zope is using File + TextIndexNG. -aj

There is no python 1.5 anymore too ;) See python.org, windows download. There is a link for up to date (and your zopes python version matching) win32 extension.
2. Whats the point "valid" meaning?
Maybe the author can answer this.
3. I cant find a script named Z2.PY
It isnt there anymore. Zope2.7 has a different startup. You can change the python interpreter zope uses if you look into the start files in your instances bin directory. At least there should be something like runzope.bat (for windows) I dont know if there is a zopectl.bat too. Change every occurence of the python interpreter here. Make sure you use the same python version (2.3.4 or so) -- Tino Wildenhain <tino@wildenhain.de>
