I'd say that your requirement doesn't really justify using a tool like
quanta however if you do want an easy to use html editor try nvu. It
doesn't produce perfect HTML but it's certainly good enough and it
works.

Still vi does the job once you've learned a small number of easy to
remember html markup tags.
