Hi,What about trying something like UltraEdit? It was less verbose, but also a bit sluggish. This seems to be a difficult area to get accessible.Rajiv

Hi,
I am in a real quandary about which best editor to use going forward on Windows.
I try to use Visual Studio more, but find it a real pane in most circumstances, it tries to do too much and causes problems, and is fairly slow.
Notepad++ is my main editor but I really hate it for most things, can't work out why but I don't trust it in some circumstances, and hate the way it keeps files open.
I would ideally use Sublime Text or similar but all the popular editors don't seem to work well with JFW at the moment.
Andrew.

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Slightly off-topic: HTML and XML editing
Just a side question that may be off-topic for the list: a recent discussion
related to my work has raised the question of which accessible editors are
best for creating and modifying HTML and XML documents extensively. My
suggestion would be nxml-mode under Emacs, which, given a schema, supports
code completion and validation. However, I'm sure there are other options, and
as I'm gathering recommendations for at least one friend/colleague and not
merely choosing what to use myself, I would be interested in your suggestions.
One of the challenges raised during the conversation that I had was that it
can be difficult to read and edit the text with a screen reader when all of
the markup is spoken; so the ability to hide the markup temporarily would be
useful. Of course, a braille display (which is what I use) would help here,
but even with that advantage, the markup can be quite verbose. An option
considered in the discussion is to write documents in a simpler markup
language such as Markdown, and then convert them, but this isn't ideal -
especially if you need fine control over the HTML or XML itself.
