Metropolis is the next generation website & content management software that allows you to define your page layout once, and start adding pages without ever again having to worry about how the page looks.

Among a host of practical functionality, like secure uploading of files, built-in file management & backup/restore, there is also ’MetroScript’, a full blown scripting system with php-like syntax.
Metropolis was modeled after Citydesk, but is 200 times faster in building your site. Metropolis comes standard in 13 languages.

Limitations:
30 day trial.

What's New:
Undo/Redo now works in MetroEditor and SimpleEd
Sped up Undo/Redo (it made typing very slow on large files wih lots of HTML tags)

Updated the MetroDoc template and scripts. They now include comments (explaining what's going on) and they now make use of the Struct classes txt and bol.
