wow. It's a while since I looked at Amaya - ( http://www.w3.org/Amaya/ ) and it's certainly improved a lot since then.

what's it's publishing like when editing Zope objects?

Hmmm.. I had that same question.. I downloaded and installed Amaya and started tinkering with some Zope objects. Unfortunately, I have bad news...

o obviously, opening, for example, index_html gives you the rendered version -- a problem for even maintaining <!--#var standard_html-footer--> type references which Amaya snarfs out. :^(

Does it support FTP? -Michel

o Then I tried creating a simple_content object and wrapping it in simple DTML refereces

i.e.,

<!--#var standard_html_header--> <!--#var simple_content--> <!--#var standard_html_footer-->

where simple_content contained only legal HTML. Unfortunately, Amaya saw that the content object lacked legal HTML headers and footers and provided them to me resulting in, for example, redundant HTML and BODY tags.

o it does say that I could, ostensible after R'ing TFM plug in my own, more promiscuous, DTD and circumvent some of these issues

o On the upside it seems MUCH more reliable on large/complicated PUTs than Composer -- possible making it a reasonable low-rent content authoring mechanism... It certainly _does_ keep the resulting HTML clean!
