Content authoring on the Internet has proved to be quite difficult and time-consuming. You will totally change your opinion once you get your hands on a powerful tool that can emulate Microsoft Word in a web interface: KTML 4. Not only does it offer the same features as a desktop publishing tool, but it takes you to a new level in content authoring.
KTML is an online WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) HTML editor created to ease creating and editing web content. It features most options found in desktop HTML editing applications, with the added advantage of being able to edit everything online:
You can modify existing content or create new one remotely, using only a browser.
You do not need to install any software to use the editor. Just make sure your browser has JavaScript and Flash support enabled, and you're all set.
KTML can be used as an editor for online content that is either saved to a database, or to a file. It is mainly built in JavaScript, but still requires the presence of a server technology for specific functions. You can find a list of the supported server technologies here.
When it comes to integration, KTML is a developer's friend: you can integrate it in your pages visually, from Macromedia Dreamweaver or Microsoft Visual Studio, or manually, using your preferred text editor.
If you use a Content Management System to power your web application, but are unsatisfied with the default HTML editor that comes with it, you can easily replace it with the KTML editor. For detailed steps about integrating the KTML editor into some of the most popular content management systems, read this chapter.
