No wonder the generated code for bold was <B> which I think is deprecated so one has changed it to use the style sheets or alternate html code. Normally I write HTML directly but thought I could use a program which makes it a tad easier for formatting, fonts and links and thought that OpenOffice works on all platforms (PC/Macs) could be the one solution. ( Microsoft word was horrendous at writing/converting html !!!). Anyway , I found that Microsoft Expression Web 4 : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=36179 <http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=36179> is now free ( at least the version I am using ) and generates code without any extra stuff like word and does not generate the paragraph tags and has a code and split screen for design and code, so you can easily add html code directly in the "code" tab ( e.g. <PRE> tags) and then continue in the design tab. In the "Code" tab it shows drop down menu for available tags e.g. for style sheets or tables. Normally am I not in favor of Microsoft products for such development but this one fits the bill. The version will not get updated with newer HTML5 and newer css. For anything more complex Visual Studio /Dreamweaver could be used. I had tested Amaya but it did not display many documents correctly and it does not have any support and no new development.
