Well, since my pages have lots of little gifs (my script) and some javascript,
I will probably continue using my current tool, which is the text editor Nedit.
Save and load the file in Netscape to look at it, and it works fine. I used to
use vi, but I know how to write macros for Nedit. I also usually have some sort
of text file to build a page from. I have tried out other html tools. My
dictionary (available now at
http://home.netcom.com/~sylvia1/Kelen/dictionary.html) was originally put
together using klyx, saved as a latex file and then converted to html with
latex2html. I had to clean up the final result a bit, but not a lot.

My latest project is a page that combines a lot of gifs and Javascript. It is
still under construction, but can be found at
http://home.netcom.com/~sylvia1/Kelen/lajathin.html
There are no links to it from any of my other pages, so you have to go there
directly if you want to see it.

Back to Amaya, though. I also pointed it at my test pages.
(http://home.netcom.com/~sylvia1/Webtest/webtest.html), and the results were
interesting. The color page looked fine, but the only place where I liked its
display better than Netscape's was the css page. There it went ahead and drew
the HR in pink like it was supposed to. On the other hand, it didn't display
the background color for the page. Oh well.
