  • Ability to create rich web documents, no need to use desktop applications.
  • Stability - eliminate a key frustration point for authors.

2. Increase author productivity

  • No training required - the interface looks and behaves like a desktop word processor inlcuding drop-down menu's, tool tips and dialogs.
  • Many, many little time savers from years of continuous improvement - e.g. automatic image insertion and upload; a format painter for copying formatting; remove extraneous formatting with CTRL+Space just as you can in most desktop applications; TAB at the end of a table appends a new row...to name a few. We believe it is the little things that count.

3. Meet the web content needs of the modern enterprise

  • Paste clean content from from Microsoft Office with or without the Microsoft styles  - we guarantee W3C compliant HTML.
  • Stable and consistent cross platform, cross-browser behaviour - Windows, OS-X, Unix, Linux; IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari.
  • Powerful and stable table editing.
  • Syntax highlighting in HTML code view.
  • Internationalized interface, help and dictionaries.

4. Produce professional, enterprise quality content

  • Easily control document styles for a consistent appearance across your web site.
  • Real-time, inline spell checking and thesaurus.
  • Track changes for collaborating with colleagues prior to publication.
  • Web sites that rely on beautifully designed CSS templates and XHTML that can be ruined by non-standards compliant HTML. We guarantee 100% W3C compliant content to protect your web design investment.
  • For government, accessibility compliance (Section 508 or WCAG) is often mandated by law. For everyone else, it is just common courtesy. EditLive!'s accessibility checking will help.
