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 ?
Perhaps because HTML was _designed_ to separate the presentation of content from the content itself.

Actually, as an HTML clueless person I welcomed this discussion. I especially like how you drove home the fact that "HTML was _designed_ to separate the presentation of content from the content itself". I can now see why WYSIWYG editors are weak at creating fully accessible pages. It seems to me that starting with a template and then using an editor that can pop your tags in is the way to go.
