If you are interested in a web publishing suite with all the bells and whistles, you could go with IBM Websphere, if you can do big downloads or can get the sales reps to ship it to you. I didn't have any luck. about $70. It works on Linux and Windows.
Abiword does Cascading Style Sheets, XML, HTML 4.0 but no tables until the next version. Supports images - png and bitmap with more if you download a plugin. I used it on windows and turned it into pdf with a free but proprietary piece of software . It can import word documents as well as new versions of word can import old versions of word. Abiword comes with GNOME. Really slow 4 mb download for windows but free. Kword will "print" to PDF files (and postscript). I just started playing with the frames today, but I will see how it outputs to pdf tomorrow. Kword also saves as html. Kword only works on Linux/UNIX. If you are interested in making structured PDF files, try htmldoc at www.easysw.com/htmldoc It is free without support and you can download source code. It also works on Linux and Windows. I liked using webmaker if you like do html by hand. I used that back in 1999. This only works on Linux/UNIX. I'm sure there are many new tools but at linux start there are thousands of software and they are hard to sort through. I tried searching for web page editor and only got 1 hit - I think it was proprietary.
