Is auto-adjusting/resizing of page lengths finally in Designer Pro X (v8)?

[Soquili]

Xara advertises their applications as being WYSIWYG and have since they incorporated the full web page export filter. If they wanted to include DHTML they would have done so (in my opinion) sometime within the past 5 years.

Some people may want to misconstrue what constitutes WYSIWYG and consider my statements as nonsense. They wish to force their opinion on others including the Xara developers. Reminds me very much of a radio personality's comic characterization called Mac Truck. He always ended his monologue with "That's my opinion and it otta be yours."

Anyway this bullheadedness is one of the other reasons I don't often post in the Xara Web Designer Chat forum.

BTW HarpGuy are you being paid by the word?

Please give examples...I'd be happy to see some examples.

Yeah, I guess I have read through this thread too quickly because I have missed these applications mentioned by name.

I probably just missed them.

Take care, Mike

HarpGuy, you clearly don't understand that being succinct and to the point is better than writing a load of stuff.

In terms of computer related experience - well done - but really it doesn't make you any closer to the feature that you want, nor make your argument any stronger.

Thank you for all the examples, but it didn't show me anything I didn't already know.

I would agree with you that Xara could indeed build a web page development system that could adapt to variable content. It would indeed be highly useful, as you point out with a CMS. The problem is that it would need to be a completely different product to that which Xara has today and would be quite restricted in terms of design features.

It could be that Xara are working on a content-flexible product and I'm sure that many people here like yourself would be delighted to see it. Magix does have a template-driven design tool for web pages.

Perhaps you can now name the WYSIWYG products that adapt to flexible content, or at least name those many editors whose features you would like to see in Xara. Lets see how they compare to what Xara is right now.

Harp on to talk or complain about something many times. [e.g.]
He's always harping on about lack of discipline.
I know you want to go to Paris. Don't keep harping on (about it)!
