Mozilla Composer lets you create your own web pages and publish
-them on the web. You don't have to know HTML to use Composer; it is
-as easy to use as a word processor.
-
-
Toolbar buttons let you add lists, tables, images, links to
-other pages, colors, and font styles. You can see what your
-document will look like on the Web as you create it, and you can
-easily share your document with other users, no matter what type of
-browser or HTML-capable email program they use.

Mozilla Composer is an HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) editor that allows you to create
+ and edit web pages. Composer is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor,
+ so you can display how your page will look to the reader as you're creating it. It is not
+ necessary for you to know HTML, since most of the basic HTML functions are available as
+ commands from the toolbars and menus.
+
+
Composer also lets you edit the HTML source if you want. To view or edit the HTML source
+ code, open the View menu, and choose HTML Source, or click the <HTML> Source tab in
+ the Edit Mode toolbar at the bottom of the Composer window.

-document's page title also appears in your list of bookmarks if you
-bookmark the page.
-
-
Composer then prompts you to enter a filename and specify the
-location where you want to save the file. Make sure you preserve
-the .html extension in the filename.
