Templates

[mqcarpenter]

Are their editors like EditPlus or UltraEdit (non WYSIWYG editors) that have the ability to do templates, like DW for easy updating of multiple files?

TIA

well... if you layout your site with a good code of semantic xhtml and css, the stylesheets take care of a lot of the work in updating pages. If you do it right-- especially if you want something that's a "template," or consistent style from page to page-- then all you would have to update is the data in the xhtml.

That's one of the big reasons for the push towards the separation of style and content...

You could also use server-side includes (shtml) or php includes for the same reason...

Yes, but the larger a site is, especially if you have consistent graphics throughout the site, the more difficult that becomes when you need to make a universal change. I understand what you are saying though. I appreciate the input.
