High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! HotDog is the name of the HTML web editing tool developed by Sausage Software in the mid-1990s. At the time of its development, there were only a small number of HTML editors available on the market (such as HoTMetaL) and HotDog gathered significant interest from web users (and then commercial users) due to its ease of use and "What you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) interface. The program was developed by Australian Internet entrepreneur Steve Outtrim. In 2000, the ownership of the product was sold from Sausage Software and, despite still being called Sausage Software, is now run by a company unrelated to the Outtrim-founded Sausage Software.
