Using Embperl in DreamWeaver
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

If you use Embperl you know it can be configured to run in WYSIWYG
mode--where it undoes the damage your WYSIWYG editor may have done to
the Perl code (e.g. turning "1 < 2" into "1 &lt; 2"). However if
you also edit your code with a text editor things get kind of
messy--sometimes you have entities in your Perl, sometimes you don't.

I written a (trivial) config file that will tell Dreamweaver 3
(haven't tested with older versions) not to touch the Embperl tags.
This means you can run Embperl in raw mode and yet use Dreamweaver to
your heart's content. The Embperl tags will show in Dreamweaver (if
you have "Show Invisibles" on) as little icons--an "EP" followed by
the appropriate symbol depending on the type of the tag. You can
click on the icons to edit the contents, or use "Insert HTML", the
builtin HTML editor or your favorite text editor.

I've put up the config files at http://www.somewhere.com/software/.
Let me know if you have any questions/suggestions.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.

that sounds really good (also I don't use dreamwaver on my own). I include a
link to it in the next release of Embperl.

Also I have made a page about varoius syntaxfiles at
http://perl.apache.org/embperl/Embperl.pod.17.html

If anybody has anything to add here, let me know
