Jamal,
No doubt you've created a powerful tool, and if I've kept EdSharp as my main
editor while the others are tested, it is because despite some minor
setbacks, the editor is as accessible as it is easy to use. That said, I
have a few questions:
1. When uploading HTML documents written on EdSharp, I get dagger signs and
other random symbols on some of my pages. Is there something I should
change on the character set, and if so, where is this found?
2. What keystrokes are used to jump from tag to tag?
3. How does one find and insert those HTML snippets you mentioned?
In the way of a recommendation, on the text conversion to HTML, would you be
able to program the software to include closing tags for paragraphs?
Otherwise, excellent job well done on your product.

Hi Jeff,
In browsing the EdSharp documentation or menu system, I think you would
quickly find that it has a much richer set of features than WordPad!
Moreover, direct speech messages, as appropriate, are integrated into the
commands, making for a more friendly and efficient experience with a screen
reader.
Regarding HTML support, the features include the following: converting HTML
to text; converting structured text to an HTML page with a table of contents
and linked headings; keys to move to the next or previous HTML tag; and
snippets one can pick for almost every HTML tag.
Of course, one should use whatever makes one the most productive, but as an
FYI, a blind user of NoteTab Pro told me he recently switched to EdSharp as
his default editor because it essentially did everything he wanted and more!
Regards,
Jamal
