5.0 An open-source Wysiwyg HTML editor in .NET

A Wysiwyg (What you see is what you get) editor can be used to let even the most novice computer user create rich-HTML based pages for use in emails, web-sites, presentations, documents, and so forth.

To use this application, simply type into the window provided. To generate the HTML code, press the ‘Code’ button in the toolbar. You can reverse this action by pressing the ‘Design’ button. You can also switch between design & code without re-generating code by using the tabs provided underneath the main window. You can change the font style by selecting some text and pressing the Font button. Also, It is possible to set the Font colour by selecting text, and pressing the colour button. To insert an image, you can right click on the design view, and select ‘Insert Image’ from the context menu. Images can be positioned and scaled by clicking on them, and dragging the small markers at the edge of the image.

Beyond these simple editing techniques, you can use the following short-cut keys:

CTRL+B: Bold

CTRL+I: Italic

CTRL+K: Hyperlink

CTRL+N: New Window

CTRL+P: Print

CTRL+U: Underline

And all this in just about 50 lines of C# code!
