Kallie,

Have you looked at Macromedia Homesite? I've found it nicely keyboard
accessible and designed for hard coding and not drag-and-drop. It can also
interact with Dreamweaver if you need to collaborate in its Homesite+
incarnation. I wrote some Jaws scripts for it a while back, for parts of it.
Though I haven't tried it with recent versions.

Subject: [WebAIM] Importancy of Doctype & Text Encoding

What doctype, text encoding, and font should one use to make pages
accessible, but also to ensure that pages are beeing displayed correctly by
all browsers? Not the font on the page as it's beeing displayed on the page,
but the font of the text encoded in the html.

I'm writing raw html code, for I haven't found a program yet that is
accessible enough for me to use, and I believe some programs put these
properties in by default.
