Publisher's description of HippiePro

From Trout Software:

HippiePro is one of the first HTML editors with both Firefox and Internet Explorer built-in browser views. HippiePro's side-by-side HTML editor eliminates the hassle of switching between your HTML document and your local browser, saving valuable time. The program has many built-in features: one-click switching among browser views, Tag wizards, reusable templates and snippets, customized user tags, a spelling checker, FTP support, color-coded HTML scripting, multiple-document support, project management, dockable customizable toolbars, an HTML validator, and a tutorial and HTML references.

Editor's review of HippiePro

• 4.0 stars

• "HippiePro"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: HippiePro 4.0

This HTML editor's most distinctive feature is the ability to display Web pages in either Internet Explorer or the increasingly popular Firefox (and the Mozilla browser on which Firefox is based). To take advantage of the Firefox/Mozilla functionality, however, you must download a separate plug-in and register it in a DOS window. A DOS window! Nevertheless, HippiePro provides several wizards for setting up pages and style sheets. It includes a bushel of HTML tags in a convenient pull-down menu, and it offers a wealth of options, including spell-checking and a simple FTP client. We just wish HippiePro were more intuitive. It doesn't even let you jump to a line of code by clicking an object in the Web page preview. Nor is it a WYSIWYG editor, so rookies should choose something easier for their first pages. Don't let the groovy name fool you. HippiePro is for seasoned Web designers only.
