Because Pages is not a web page editor, it's a word processor and page layout system. The intended output is essentially a printed document. In fact (checking out the beta) when you share a document you can choose to email in Pages, PDF or Word format. HTML is not presented as an option.
- peterkelly 13y agoCan you explain the difference between a web page editor and word processor? (this isn't meant as criticism; I'd just like to understand your perspective, as I personally view them as being in the same category)
- gohrt 13y agoa web page is dynamic and has infinite vertical size. a print document has a static A4-sized layout.
- crazygringo 13y agoTo me, they're totally different. Web pages are limited by HTML capability, and based on infinite-length documents of variable width. Word processors deal with pages (page numbering, margins, footnotes, columns, set page widths) with much more complex text flows, and the output needs to look exactly the same on every screen and every device.
