I think what Xeef is say is basically, "No".

Why not edit it in dreamweaver?

However if you are trying to build an HTML editor, sure you could do it with the help of a server-side language. But this is going to be a lot of work. And if you had to ask, chances are you don't have the skills to do it. (I know I don't).

Some things to think about:

It is going to be a text editor like notepad or a GUI interface like Dreaweaver
How are you going to convert vector tables into ASCII?
How are you going to write the text file?

nonononon.....
what i want to do in first place...
I want to have "html" editor..BUT i only want to ADD, edit, publish txt that will be typed, edited.....on local computer (projector file, i think) and then comunicate with CGI ?(i think) and then publish the content into html file...
something like "online" adding/editing tool for news...
I m not trying to make an edditor like DreamWeaver... i want to make an anplication, to add/edit "news" in 1 frame on html page, that means to add/edit "news" in 1 html file....
O.K. i know, i dont have the knolige to do this right now... but im learning...and I HEAVE A DREAM!

so yeah basically what you need to do is first build the editor. i'm making one right now, it should be done early next week, so maybe i could just give you what im making for that.

basically, you could use php for all this. what you would do is the following, and i'll probably skip some stuff haha..

1. get the editor to export a variable with all the html formatting. making an editor is the hardest part of all this, i know because im doing it right now.
2. send that variable to a php script. not hard.
3. in the php, accept the variable and trap it. add some html formatting. have it create a .html file. tricky to get this perfected but it's not hard at all.
4. that's it so i don't know why i have 4 things on this list.

http://h108design.com if you click on thoughts, then click on one of the months, go into it and click add comments to one. put your name in and then comment. through a php file it gets saved to my server as an xml file, appended to the end of an appropriate xml tree. you can then click on view comments, and yours shoullldddd show up. it might take a few seconds though. basically you'd be doing the same thing. i have it accept flash variables and trap them, and using CData, css and php create a file. it's not that hard, just don't give up. goonies never say die.
