Media word processor question

[Jerry Muelver]

Tom, even with a poll, we'd still be left with the dual issues of 
specification and implementation. What I'm after is to emulate in 
Revolution what I've already done in Windows with WikiWriter 
(http://hytext.com/ww), only with slicker cross-platform features.

The idea is fairly simple markup in a text scripting mode, with full 
HTML-like display in viewer mode. The purpose is to provide an 
easy-to-use collaborative hypertext document production environment. I'm 
beginning to see that I will have to create an extensive library of 
display kludges (spacer graphics, sliced text controls) just to 
duplicate what is already available in any browser. Since Rev 2.7 for 
Linux (my development platform) is still in the oven and I can't make 
hay without sunshine, I'm leaning toward the easy way out -- wait for 
Altuit's altBrowser solution to evolve to cover my problem.
