You should explain what NVU is. Or is it just me that had to Google for
it?

HTML is simple.

Yes.

You should be able to write it without the need of some UI.

Nobody can write it properly with the UI. That's the problem.

Write HTML guys. Not XHTML.

Why?

Converting HTML to PDF is best done with Prince XML. Ok it is
proprietary, though it is rather good. Otherwise, I guess use Firefox
and some hack.

Incidentally, what Kai means is "the print-to-file function in Firefox with ps2pdf or whatever the command is."
