Sorry, there's no substitute for learning HTML to write a website. WYSIWYG
just doesn't work.

You don't see what you get, you don't get a valid page, so no-one else gets
to see what you wanted either.

I agree.  Its not like its difficult or requires any
programming skills to write html documents,
its only mark up.  My girlfriend was a technophobe
when I met her back in 2000, but now she does the
html and css for her own website.  She isn't w3c
compliant, although she is most of the way there.
At least most of the way to 4.01 transitional, which is a
good start. :)

As for editors, I quite like KATE, it is a glorified
text editor (which is all you need), and has nice
colour coding and can do bulk tab and un-tab
on selections.

Quanta also does this bulk tabbing... surprising how the little things are sometimes 
the most useful.  I also quite like the way Quanta auto-closes tags when you type </ 
and presents a nice pop-down list of valid tag parameters.

Grant.
