The Andrew Toolkit has an extensible editor called EZ which includes HTML
and SGML configurations. You can save Microsoft Word documents in the RTF
format and read them with EZ and save it as HTML. You can also "drag and
drop" graphics. It also has messaging (E-Mail) for sending HTML E-Mail
under a MIME header. It is included with most linux distributions. It
is standard with "Plug'N'Play" and intstalled as AUIS* package under
SlackWare. It is also remarketed in commercial products from IBM, DEC,
HP, SUN, and SCO. Commercial extensions include features like
internationalization, inclusion of BookReader and 3820 documents along
with other proprietary formats. It can be used to author BookReader
documents well. It was the original HyperText editor (as opposed to
MacIntosh - the first hyper-card editor).
It is very much like E-Macs, but can be configured to behave like other
editors. It also uses the labled keys (PC, VT320, and SUN). You can
also cut-and-paste documents from other sources using X11 conventions
(text, xbm, and pixmaps). It also has spreadsheets and MultiMedia
capabilities.
The Andrew Toolkit also comes with a full set of C++ Base Classes and
libraries for developing your own text and graphics editors. Since the
source code is included (or available), you can step through code using a
debugger.
It CANT read Microsoft Word documents (Microsoft has been real "fussy"
about people reverse-engineering this format.
It is available with the Linux distribution Disk.
