Huy Guys, I have never written a line of html code , besides a few lines to start a java tutorial app , Why is it so difficult for the gui/wsywig editers to do html layout , why the need for hand editing ? The wsiwig stuff I use are browsers , wordprossers , and data base apps, as well as some programing with delphi which uses wsywig to place components. Thas one app I would realy like to see on Linux.

When you (Derek) brought up this assembler vs. compiler analogy for the WYSIWYG vs. text editor, it did make me think a bit. For me I would choose to do the layout of complex graphics with a real good WYSIWYG editor, because doing that in HTML is absolute horror and it never works on all browser (unless you're uber HTML coder). I did it myself for IE but never get it to work for Netscape. I would select a fine balance between automation and manual work. Sure, driving auto is easy, but when it comes to tricky things to get out of usually manual works better. Same goes for programming, languages are easier than assembly, but assembly has its advantages (compact, fast program). But the most important thing that I think we all agree on is the knowledge of what we do. For example, it would be crazy for someone to drive a manual car over snow or ice if they know sh!t about manual, and same goes for HTML. But personally, if the work is all done with WYSIWYG, I wouldn't like it too much. At least use an editor to kill the comment tags they make.
