what would you recommend for paid for and/or
free WYSIWYG html editor....<br>
<br>
I've got a copy of Dreamweaver and it just
seems a bit clunky...any other suggestions?<br>

<div>IMHO since the advent of CSS WYSIWYG HTML
editors are next to worthless.<br>
<br>
The flexibility of styling that CSS provides
means there are no strict rendering rules for <br>
HTML as such the WYSIWYG editors need to be CSS
aware. <br>
<br>
Every web developer I know writes the HTML and
CSS in a text editor.<br>

<div>There aren't aren't many "good" ones out there for
this reason, it's very easy to put together a site in
CSS and HTML which doesn't tax you too much.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It's worth having a look at the W3Schools website, it
teaches a good working knowledge of CSS and it really
doesn't take long to learn.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Have a look at Twitter-Bootstrap if you want a quick
framework to work with. </div>

Disclaimer: I don't 'do' web pages but from a theoretical point of
view, tagging languages came about from an attempt to seperate
content, structure and presentation aspects of a piece of text,
though they've often fallen short of that ideal. It's always been
wrong-headed to worry about What-You-See because you can't
possibly know how it is going to be rendered on the 5m high
holographic device in zero-gravity. PDFs are much better at
pretending to be the fixed-size piece of paper graphic artists
really want but 'apparently' they're "too sensitive" to give a
good slap. <br>
<br>
I've been looking for ages for a Free tool to start writing
DocBook XML (or maybe DITA) and recently found 'XML Copy Editor'
in the Ubuntu repo. It looks promising. It reads an XML definition
and configures itself to be aware of the relevant grammar. <br>
<br>
I understand that HTML5 can be written in XHTML syntax so maybe
this is viable option for web pages too? XML Copy Editor supports
'XHTML 1.0 Strict' but I'm out of my depth now.<br>

Maybe I should have looked at this first:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XHTML">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XHTML</a> No, XHTML 1.0 isn't good enough
and XHTML5 seems to have been abandoned.<br>
