texte = I would be very interesting in seeing an example of a blog that would do the HTML formatting for the administrator without them knowing or adding a lick of code. I know this has been talked about before on here, I'll have to go to the archives and see if anyone ever built such a thing.Something where the admin could highlight a typed sentace and click a checkbox to bold print it, or click a checkbox to color it any one of multiple color choices. Something for an unordered list, etc.Now that I think about it, I know I have seen an example of this that somebody did using webcat (webDNA).
