Interesting idea, but even if it worked properly, I don't think I'd ever use it—I always write HTML and CSS in tandem when coding up pages.
Is there anyone who prefers to write _all_ of the HTML before starting the CSS? If so, I'd be interested in hearing about your workflow.
- talmand 15y agoI've done this. The reason being I had to copy text from a Word doc into a long-form landing page. HTML from Word sucks and I never found a converter I liked because of my compelling need for decent formatting. So I would copy entire chunks of copy from Word into Dreamweaver and then create my markup based on paragraph, headings and so on. I even made an extension for Dreamweaver that would convert special characters into their HTML entity equivalents. Once I had the copy in HTML I would then start designing with CSS and any images required. I did it this way because once I got past the drudgery of creating the markup for the copy the design part was interesting, challenging and fun. Plus it felt faster that way as opposed to inserting and designing in chunks. But for websites my preference is the same, HTML and CSS in tandem.
