WYSIWYG HTML editor s for theWorld Wide Web .Adobe Systems released PageMill 1.0 in late1995 . It was considered revolutionary at the time as it was the first HTML editor which was considered user friendly, cited as the "PageMaker of the WWW". [http://www.soc.org.uk/bulletin/pagemill.htm Review of Adobe PageMill 1.0, late 1995] ] This first version, however, was also criticized for lacking items such as a spell-checker and support for creating HTML tables.Adobe PageMill 2.0, which was introduced in early
1997 , corrected these issues by offering a package which, according to one review, "adds more features than I have fingers and toes...PageMill with its tables, frames, graphics, and support for form interfaces, makes it easy to lay out a page". [http://www.soc.org.uk/bulletin/pagemil2.htm Review of Adobe PageMill 2.0, early 1997] ]Adobe PageMill 3.0, which was released in early 1999, supported embedded font commands and a site-management feature. It was discontinued in February, 2000 due to the development and promotion of
Adobe GoLive . [ [http://www.adobe.com/support/salesdocs/1000592.html] Dead link|date=March 2008] A later patch, still available from Adobe, fixed a problem with FTP upload. External programs such as Topstyle Lite [ [http://www.bradsoft.com/topstyle/tslite/index.asp TopStyle Lite ] ] can work around the lack of style sheet support.Trivia
