If everyone uses the same browser or editor, it should be okay. By the way, what do people use to create/edit HTML files? I just tried * LibreOffice -- it edits HTML, but adds too many tags. * SeaMonkey Composer -- much cleaner HTML. On 2025-03-31 08:48, Steve Litt via talk wrote:

Hi all,
What app or platform do you or your company use to share/edit document for a group of people? Main use would be to put all internal documentation, comment, discovery, and faq into one location.
* People say "SharePoint", but never used it myself. * We (old job) use to put Word documents on server. Only one person could write to it at a time, but that was okay for the low traffic. * Plain HTML file might be okay. Edit by Notepad++. Concerning plain HTML via Notepad++: I know nothing about Notepad++, but in my opinion HTML docs are garbage unless they're true, validated HTML that will pretty much render identically across all competent browsers. Otherwise, each browser picks its own way to interpret your broken HTML, usually resulting in things like item A overwriting item B, or microscopic fonts or other stuff that hurts readability and even changes the information conveyed.
I've written extensively about validation athttps://troubleshooters.com/web/validating.htm , including installing your own copy of the w3c validator locally, because the last thing you want to do is send your proprietary docs to "the cloud" to be validated.
As a practical matter, teaching correct HTML5 and validation to every employee creating documentation will cause them to come after you with pitchforks, so much as I love HTML and CSS I'd recommend against HTML for this particular situation.
As a side matter, if you're interested in making quality HTML with zero errors and few or no warnings on validation, check out the entirety of Web Workmanship athttps://troubleshooters.com/web/
