just wanted to give that a big thumbs up
that is all
Mozilla has released a web page creation editing tool that steps novice users through HTML and CSS. Dubbed “Thimble”, Mozilla bills the new tool a “webmaker”. While that term is cringeworthy, the two-paned web app is anything but. One pane offers raw HTML, with just a few basic tags. The other offers a WYSIWYG view of the HTML …
Is it just me thinking that if they only valuable thing they've added is pre-done templates with lots of comments then why bother re-inventing the wheel? Why not simply create templates with comments for something like Maqetta?
Does this even support HTML5 or just the plain old HTML/CSS combo's we've been seeing since the days of Geocities?
Sure it's been done before, but does it really matter? The markup is the same regardless of the IDE, unless the IDE uses some Homebrew language, in which case it shouldn't be supported! At the moment HTML(let alone HTML5!) is taught terribly in the schools in my area,they refuse to use any browser other than IE, encourage bad habits and outdated tags like marque and for some reason decide to forgoe JavaScript and CSS because "It's too compllex". Complex my arse these are 7th graders! CSS, HTML, and JavaScript, IMHO are stupidly easy to grasp, JS is the most complex, by a small margin.
Hopefully spoon-feeding them HTML5 will get them off their asses!
