Netscape Composer is an editor that lets you create your own standards-compliant web documents. 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.
How is Netscape 6.2 related to the open source development at mozilla.org? Netscape 6.2 is created in an open source community called mozilla.org. Through this open development process, Netscape takes advantage of the talents and achievements of a worldwide group of open source developers.
Netscape 6.2 is based on Netscape Gecko, a small, fast, standards-compliant layout engine. The layout engine is at the heart of a browser -- it is the software that controls how a web page appears on your screen. Since the beginning of the Web, industry groups and web site developers have clamored for a browser that would support currently accepted standards for web content. Netscape 6.2 delivers the browser that developers and consumers have been asking for. If you are surfing the Web, pages will look better, and you can view all the latest eye-pleasing special effects, graphics, and styles that web developers put into their sites.
