yGen came about when I realised most of my web pages had multiple repeated elements. E.g. the header, menu bar, sidebar and so on. So, yGen is a combination text editor and compiler, generating finished files (be they html, text, php or any extension you like) from template files and includes. Includes can be nested, allowing you to build complex files from duplicated parts - without manually duplicating anything. yGen is not a wysiwyg web site creation tool. All coding is by hand so knowledge of html syntax is essential. Update: Check the yGen Screenshots page and you'll discover the editor now has push-buttons for commonly used tags. If you write your sites by hand, yGen could save you a lot of time. I also use yGen to create all my PAD and RSS files - it's not just for web sites, it can be used to build any kind of text file.
