Paul Forsyth	Sunday 07 September 2003 2:11:35 pm Any good text editor :) Though we use Eclipse (www.eclipse.org), good for everything. If you declare .tpl files as html you get pretty good syntax colouring.

Alex Jones	Tuesday 09 September 2003 6:40:52 am Peter, I don't think you will have much success finding a WYSIWYG editor that will let you visually manipulate eZ's template code. Your best bet will be to go for a combination of your favorite WYSIWG editor and a good text editor that provides the ability to have custom tag/synatx colors. Design your layouts in the WYSIWGY editor and then pull the generated code into a good code editor. I tend to use DreamWeaver for my code (to be honest, I don't use its visual interface - so I'm not sure how it works with eZ code in that view). Sadly it doesn't provide custom coloring for eZ tags from what I can find. Alex Alex [ bald_technologist on the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net): #eZpublish ] <i>When in doubt, clear the cache.</i>
Jonny Bergkvist	Wednesday 10 September 2003 11:50:13 am I like the modified vi-editor from www.vim.org. It has syntax-hilightning that support template-tags, html-tags, php-tags, etc.etc...
Alex Jones	Wednesday 10 September 2003 12:23:31 pm Peter, what platform are you running? Knowing that may help us recommend the right software. Alex Alex [ bald_technologist on the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net): #eZpublish ] <i>When in doubt, clear the cache.</i>
Peter Szmulik	Saturday 13 September 2003 1:23:15 pm Thanks for all your replies! I'm quite happy using a good text editor so that's OK! However, a client of mine asked the question (they are in the process of selecting a CMS - prompting me to recommend Exponential :-)). Thanks! Peter
