Color is a basic element in all of the editors that we tested. The background, foreground, non-visited links, visited links, and text colors were easily changed in all editors.
Graphics were easy to add to documents created by all of the editors as well, however formatting of these graphics was not universally easy. Home Page Wizard does allow the user to add graphics and to change their size, but it does not allow for formatting of text with these graphics.
HotDog Standard allows the user to call up a dialog box where they can enter in the path to the file, an application to call up upon selection of the graphic, and an alternate name for the graphic if it is viewed by a text-based viewer. This application does not allow the user to change the format of the image at all or the location of text compared to the image.
In Aardvark Pro, the user can click on two different buttons to add graphics to a web page. The first simply inserts the tags required for adding an image in to the document. The second allows the user to browse for the file and to change the image's height, width, and border.
Live Markup has the best way of adding images to an HTML document. Upon insertion of the image marker to the document, the user can specify the alignment, alternate text, URL, and action to be done when selected. With this editor being WYSIWYG, most images can be viewed as you insert them.
Once again Home Page Wizard shows its weaknesses. There is no way to create a table in Home Page Wizard. The other editors, however, have extremely easy to use table creation functions. Live Markup creates a table according to the number of rows and columns that you want, but you cannot insert or delete rows or columns after you have created the table. Apart from this, by selecting a cell with your mouse cursor you can simply type in the appropriate text for the cell.
Aardvark Pro and HotDog Standard stand out when creating tables. Aardvark Pro has a table wizard that helps you define all attributes of a table and the cells that it contains as well as the cells themselves. When you have described your table, all of the code is produced for you. HotDog Standard has a window that is a little different but does the same thing. Tables can look very messy in straight HTML code, but these table builders make everything very simple. Insertion of new data and deletion of old data is done by simply removing the code from your HTML document.
