  That's the best possibility so far. I'll probably end up doing just that. I 
admit after all this time benefiting from Quanta's great editing features, it 
would be hard to drop down to some ordinary text editor... :-)

  About your suggestion to develop something to interface Quanta with MySQL... 
What kind of tool would that require? Writing a kio_slave in C++? Just DCOP 
or D-BUS calls?
  Basically, it could only:

1) connect to the database across the network and read its structure,
2a) read an entry in the database (containing HTML/PHP code),  send the code 
to Quanta's editor, write (during save) the content of the editor to the 
database instead of a file,
2b) create a new entry in the database,
2c) delete an entry from the database,
3) close the database.
4) A fine point would be to have preview working in this situation, which 
would probably be harder that it looks.

  Do I miss something important here? The problem is that I'm green at almost 
everything here, except HTML. ;-)
