Im guessing there is other software available to non-DW users.

There is no other software I am aware of that would recognize the current (since DMX 6x) template syntax. And there is no concept of 'editable regions' unless one is using some HTML authoring package (e.g., FP, EW, GL, etc.) that supports some form of proprietary templating.

If I were in a situation where I had no access to any HTML authoring package, and had to use Notepad or BBEdit, then I would not be able to respect any legacy template markup whatsoever in my edits other than by my own discipline. Further, if I had to "CREATE" 'editable-type' regions, I would just use server-side includes.

Does that get at what you are asking?

Thanks Murray, those 3 steps are basically what I was doing. Going back to my originaly query, I was just wondering what someone who didnt use DW would do with regards to templating a site, and creating some sort of editable regions.
Im guessing there is other software available to non-DW users.

Ive never used content management like Joomla, but may look into it sometime soon, but does software like this only manage the content, not the layout AND
content of a site?
