NWE Home :: Help :: Web :: Authoring :: Composer

The Mozilla Composer is a wysiwyg (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) HTML program. With it, you can compose pages in the wysiwyg view to see how the page will look on the web, or you can use the code view to write using HTML code.

Composer can be useful, but it tends to write bad code. Bad code means that it could be harder to fix later, more confusing, and it may not work on all browsers and computers (important to note given how many professors work on Macs and may not be able to view your work if your code is bad). ASWE is a better choice for overall work, but Composer can be useful in a pinch.
