This is a problem even in >traditional word processors. They also have style sheets that can make >content disappear. A very simple solution to this problem is to have a multi-view editor. For example in Amaya there is a WYSIWYG view as well as a structure view showing the content. The styles only applies to the WYSIWYG view. So one can always check that the content is correct. An alternate view also provide an way to see how the document would render on a text terminal.
