This is kind of the best of both worlds - it's also the UNIX way - why would the author of Bluefish expend time and effort on building in a browser, when there are already so many out there that can, through a simple menu option, be called for previews? As regards WYSIWYG, the site claims it is WYSIWYN - What You See Is What You Need - surely a good design philosophy! (Hehe, just checked my sources, as it were, and found that current releses do indeed have a built-in preview window, albeit experimental) Dan -- Daniel Bye PGP Key: ftp://ftp.slightlystrange.org/pgpkey/dan.asc PGP Key fingerprint: 3D73 AF47 D448 C5CA 88B4 0DCF 849C 1C33 3C48 2CDC _ ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) - against HTML, vCards and X - proprietary attachments in e-mail / \ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
