Well one can argue that for HTML use FrontPage which comes with the MS Office suite and not a wordprocessor. I mean, I would not write a memo with an HTML editor.
FrontPage makes pretty bad HTML too; though of course not as bad as MS Word. Not only that, sometimes other browsers besides MSIE don't parse it right. Really coding by hand with a good HTML editor is still the best way to go, though for Linux one can use several WYSYWIG editors such as Amaya or Mozilla/Netscape Composer if one is so inclined.
Of course, for very large documents that need to be published in HTML format, coding by hand is out of the question. A tool is really the only way to go in that situation. I haven't tried FrontPage -- in fact, as I posted separately, I don't think I have it installed on my machine at work -- but it doesn't surprise me to hear that it includes M$ "enhancements" to the HTML to prevent it from working with any browsers other than MSIE. Since the manuals I'm producing need to be accessible in both Windies and Unix environments, restricting their use to MSIE definitely isn't the way to go.
