A template to format HTML to look like the text was written in a word processor.
- Save default styles via stylesheets
- Especially helpful for accessibility control: e.g., if your eyes are sensitive to bright-white pages
- Also allows you to change the interface background, which is not an option on all word processors
- Save different stylesheets for different publication style (e.g., APA, MLA)
- Write the text in the editor of your choice, and worry about program-specific compatibility later
- Avoid the bulkiness of word processors
- Set up your environment how you want it
- Guidelines to tell you where to break up the text into a new page
- When writing in HTML, you can comment out any parts you're hesitant about, hiding them from the document preview without having to delete them altogether
- Speaking of comments, you can add revision-style comments with the
<comment></comment>wrapper (for the text you're commenting on) and the<ctext></ctext>wrapper for the comment itself - Keeping track of changes using git is much easier for HTML files than for word-processed files
It is feature-light right now, because I made it so that I could write a fellowship application...which I should probably be writing.
But, soon I will post some documentation---probably a gh-pages site---so that you can use it even if you're unfamiliar with HTML or CSS.
