! 3: \textbf{Daxe Editor Overview}
! 4:
! 5: The LON-CAPA Daxe editor lets authors edit HTML files and LON-CAPA problem files.
! 6: It provides a dynamic graphical user interface with a preview, making it easy to see the resulting web page.
! 7: Daxe understands the LON-CAPA language perfectly, providing a list of elements that can be inserted at the
! 8: cursor position, and checking the file validity in real-time.
! 9:
! 10: Daxe is an alternative to the LON-CAPA ``colorful'' editor (which is the current editor by default).
! 11: Compared to the ``colorful'' editor, Daxe provides a more dynamic interface: elements can be inserted anywhere
! 12: at any time without the need for saving and reloading the document, and the display is updated immediately.
! 13: Daxe also provides a preview that is updated whenever the document is saved.
! 14:
! 15: Daxe is not meant to replace the source editor (which is sometimes called ``plain text editor'',
! 16: or ``XML editor'' even though its syntax is not XML): this text editor can still be useful to fix errors
! 17: in a document syntax, and for authors who prefer to use a simple text editor.
! 18: Note that when Daxe is used, the resulting document will always have a correct syntax,
! 19: so it is a better-suited editor for authors who are not used to the syntax.
