Nah, *this* document is pretty simple. But if I'm going to adopt another editor and learn my 304th set of editor commands, it had damn well BETTER support all of unicode, and not just the characters that have simple entity names.
My current wordprocessor (as opposed to a simple text editor) is Word Perfect. No, its not perfect, but its better than everything else I've tried so far, including Open Office.
I would love to see a wordprocessor that worked as well as a text editor, and that could seamlessly handle unicode. I actually have a design for one somewhere, but I saw a statistic somewhere that editors are the most common Open Source project, and most are stillborn, and I don't want to be another statistic.
Just looked at nvu. All it does is HTML. I want something that can edit structured documents and output the result in HTML, pdf, and any number of other formats.
I certainly don't want the storage format to be HTML. HTML is just too broken.
