Re: Need Suggestions for a Basic (Free or Inexpensive) HTML Editor

In that case, your options are greatly expanded.  Your best approach might be to choose one of the editors that embeds itself in a browser window.  Clients could still view the source in the browser window, but without opening a source file in a text-capable application, they wouldn't be able to make modifications to the actual source code itself.  That said, if they know where to find the source files, the more determined of them could circumvent the WSIWYG.  Don't know why anyone would want to do that, but some folks might just.

Thanks for the link, Jan. I will take a look. Thanks to everyone else so
far on their suggestions. 
 
One correction: the editor does NOT have to be open source. We just need
to be able to license it.

    I think the key here is that Roger's group is searching for an
open source, WYSIWYG HTML editor "that does not expose or 
    break the HTML code."  Though none of the examples mentioned
thus far meet that criteria, you might have a look at
http://www.cmsreview.com/WYSIWYG/OpenSource/directory.html , which
provides a (an albeit somewhat dated) listing of open source HTML
editors.  Based on the information in that listing, you might find one
or more applications that suit your needs.
