Here's another note on the WHYSIWYG vs. tag-based
editors thread. One thing I absolutely love about
WordPerfect is the "reveal codes" (tags) window.
I've long since stopped counting the number of
times I used it to discover and delete a strange
formatting code that I could never see or debug in
any other software. Marvelous feature, and
thoroughly indispensible. WYSIWYG can be more
efficient in creating the tags, but there are
times when you simply can't understand and solve a
problem without viewing the tags.
