It's a "WYSIWYG" HTML editor. You can get the same effect with other
programs. The idea is to get a picture and text on the screen at the
same time. You can get the same effect using transparent plastic, e.g. a
plastic bag or OH film. You draw the picture on the plastic, tape the
plastic to the monitor and then start typing...

I occasionally have to take a step back from the computer to see big
pictures. Usually the pictures that need that to make sense do not end
up as favourites of mine.
