	Thanks Bill. Great stuff.
	 
	On editors: I like Arachnophilia. This is also a freebie, distributed as "Care Ware"
	 
	Version 5 is written in Java and I find it runs relatively slowly, especially on older machines, as it involves use of the Java runtime engine. You can find version 5 at http://www.arachnoid.com/arachnophilia/index.html
	 
	I use version 4 which is Windows specific. This is now legacy and is no longer supported. Obtainable at http://www.arachnoid.com/arachnophilia/index_old.html

		This is an introductory exercise for teaching raw markup and style. It consists of 4 web pages, the same poem is presented in 4 different ways, starting very simple (HTML only) and then introducing and varying style to obtain different effects.
		
		Navigation is primitive (back button) - sidebar menus can be done in style but it's not part of an introductory task
		
		Students like the idea of selecting their own song or poem and the reworking it, so the motivation works alright.
		
		The exercise is written to be done in notepad but if you don't want that then HTML-Kit (free download for single copy) or NVU (open source and free) are suitable alternatives. Or start with notepad and migrate to those packages soon after. I use HTML-Kit myself.
