Can't you export to HTML from the word-processor in Open Office? (LibreOffice, 
AbiWord, whatever).

HTML seems generally unsuited for WYSIWYG, as different browsers will render 
differently. That may not be a problem for the kind of really simple stuff you 
have in mind, but I guess there may not be much development in this area.

Stroller.

 Stroller.

Bluefish has tab autocompletion for tags ... type  to open a tag and you 
can choose from the dropdown.

KDE3 had Quanta Plus, but I don't think it was ever ported to KDE4.

Kate offers autocompletion in CSS at least, once you start typing the tag.  
You can have a browser open to check the results of your edits as an WYSIWYG 
solution.

Otherwise, you may want to try Komodo-edit-bin:

(I've just added an ebuild for the latest 8.0.0 version.)

Yes, OpenOffice exports to HTML but I'm modifying an existing document and it 
looks strange.
I've in stalled on Windows XP kompozer as it is not available on Gentoo and 
it works similar like Nvu.

Define user-friendly. When I used Bluefish, I recalled it being
similar to Netscape Navigator Gold's bundled HTML editor...which is to
say it supported editing individual pages only, and had no concept of
JavaScript, JScript, VBScript or CSS.

Better than define user-friendly...how about describing what you're
trying to do? How large a project is this?
