Folks, the muddle is mine. I am in the situation where I have a fairly
elaborately formatted field (say ‘myFormattedText) - coloured text, different
fonts, styles and sizes. This text is static in my standalone, but I have often
needed to change it during development. I have not found a simple way to do
this, and I have now resorted to having a ‘plain text’ field (‘myText’) with
the whole html of the target field in it, and at initialisation time I execute:
set the htmlText of fld “myFormattedText” to fld “myText”
This seems kind of mad, but I can’t see how I can edit the original text in
situ during the development process: so I am reduced to editing the raw html in
the ‘myText’ field, which is painful because I haven’t got an editor which will
edit the html while displaying it in its final form. So I just use a text
editor like TextWrangler (this is on a Mac). Of course in doing this I make
loads of mistakes.
I’ve been doing this for some time, but my approach must be wrong - it’s just
too clunky.
What does everyone else do?
TIA
Graham

So; you're on a Mac.
I am largely clueless when it comes to HTML, and I use, regardless of
which desktop platform I'm on KompoZer:
http://www.kompozer.net/
It is Free (as in entirely Free) and certainly cuts the mustard for me.
I have been using various versions of it for about 9 years without a hitch.
