Description:

Unlike most WYSIWYG editors, XStandard is not a wrapper built around the HTML editor found in most browsers. Instead, XStandard is built from the ground up as a genuine XHTML editor that directly generates true XHTML Strict / 1.1. XStandard also uses only external CSS for formatting, ensuring the clean separation of data from presentation.

XStandard Overview:

• Plugs into browser-based content management solutions (IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera) on Windows and OS X
• Can be used in desktop applications build using Visual Studio .NET, VB6, Visual C++ and MS Access
• Generates clean, standards-compliant XHTML Strict or 1.1 markup that meets the most demanding accessibility requirements
• Uses only external CSS for formatting
• Supports almost all CSS 2.1 selectors
• Cleanly separates data from presentation, making content easier to re-purpose
• Loads in less than half a second
• Makes applying accurate formatting easy, using "friendly" style names ("Promo", "Description", etc.)
