Notebook application which uses HTML as its native file format

Notebook application which uses HTML as its native file format

Does anyone know of a wysiwyg application for taking notes, preferably in a tree structure, which loads from and saves to HTML directly?

"Are you asking for an editor to embed into your Web page, or to use as a desktop tool?

If it's the latter, I'd suggest picking the tool you are most comfortable with. I'm a big fan of TiddlyWiki, but you may wish to have something that runs as a native app instead. Almost all the current note taking and mind mapping programs out there have an HTML export option (see http://en.wikipediadotorg/wiki/Comparison_of_notetaking_software). And if all you need is a basic bullet list, there are plenty of good HTML editors like Amaya, CoffeeCup and BlueFish.

On the other hand, if what you are after is a way to take notes directly on a web page or web application, the editor component I'd recommend is TinyMCE. There was a recent review of the top 25 editors on Smashing Magazine, check it out for a good overview."
