Writing in HTML is equivalent to programming in assembly language. If all you want is a small web site, with no dynamically generated content, then write in HTML, and manually find and fix the comparatively small number of syntax and semantic errors that you make. If you want even a medium-sized web site, then you'd be crazy to do it in plain HTML, because the amount of repetitive typing would be prohibitive, and the number of needless bugs would be enormous. The few hundred bucks spent on higher-level web design software is only a waste of money if your time is worth nothing. -- Ciao, Paul D.
