Re: html and dreamweaver

To begin, I must say that I have not used dreamweaver, so what I say may
or may not apply to that program.

The main problem with using wysiwyg html-editors is that they (for the
most part) do not correctly follow w3 standards. For example, they use an
inordinate numper of paragraph tags and non-breaking spaces to achieve
formatting. Also, they tend to use deprecated tags, such as <center> and
<font>, instead of styles. If an html-editor could be developed that
correctly followed w3 standards, then there would be no problem.
