- Work cat.: Forta, B. Sams teach yourself HomeSite 4 in 24 hours, 1999:p. 19 ("Editing versus Authoring: Web page authoring tools are built around the premise that you, the page developer, don't want to learn or know HTML ... Under the hood, [authoring] tools [like Microsoft FrontPage] are actually generating HTML code for you, but the authoring tool attempts to hide this fact ... Professional Web developers generally shy away from these [authoring] tools [because of their limitations and prefer to] ... use editors rather than authoring tools. Editors are programs used to manually create and manipulate HTML; they don't hide the HTML, they present it to you directly for you to edit.")
- Allaire Co. website("What is the difference between a WYSIWYG authoring tool and an HTML editor? A WYSIWYG tool has a visual environment that shields the user from the HTML. An HTML editor provides some visual tools, but the user works directly in the HTML for more precise layout control, greater design flexibility, and higher-performance Web pages.")
- Microsoft website FrontPage 2000(HTML editing tools include HomeSite, 1-4-ALL, Actionpad, Agile HTML editor, Arachnophilia, Aweb developer, Click-o-mania, CoffeeCup HTML editor, Cute HTML, LiquidFX Professional, namo WebEditor, QuikEdit, Web Weaver; there is some confusion about which software is an authoring tool and which an editor, e.g. Microsoft® FrontPage® 2000("the most popular html editing tool!"))
Wikipedia description:
An HTML editor is a program used for editing HTML, the markup of a web page. Although the HTML markup in a web page can be controlled with any text editor, specialized HTML editors can offer convenience, added functionality, and organisation. For example, many HTML editors handle not only HTML, but also related technologies such as CSS, JavaScript, or ECMAScript. In some cases, they also manage communication with remote web servers via FTP and WebDAV, and version control systems such as Subversion or Git. Many word processing, graphic design, and page layout programs that are not dedicated to web design, such as Microsoft Word or QuarkXPress, also have the ability to edit & export HTML documents.
