To me, it produces really ugly markup with the template tags... but whatever. I do know that AbiWord has AbiWord Templates, abt files I think, but don't quote me. I just opened the Mozilla Composer and it doesn't have any kind of template feature. I don't know about NVU, but I would imagine it has something similar, but better. Links for you and your friend. Note that the download page features a deb files that should work with Debian Stable. I'm installing now. http://www.nvu.com/ http://www.nvu.com/download.php http://www.nvu.com/features.php -- Matthew K Poer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
