I do it in Notepad, but mainly because I learned HTML in 1993, and there wasn't much else. I just got used to it, and I have no problem visualizing a page from the HTML code, until you get frames, tables, & such involved.

Ditto x2. As I said earlier, I learned HTML in 1993, and that's pretty much all you COULD do back then. Frames are my enemy, Java doubly so.

I do all my conlanging by hand, except for the lexicon. I write out all the affixes & inflections by hand, it can be time consuming, but in the time I'm writing one thing I can think of what to do for the next. For all my school work, I do a rough copy by hand, although when I type it up I'll often spontaneously change things. -- Robert
