I bounce back and forth between using tools, and using vi/notepad. The statement you show is not a valid statement in HTML 4.01 Transitional. It looks like it might be xhtml, but I haven't progressed that far yet in my self-education. I suppose like anything else, an HTML coder must be interested in doing it correctly, before they will do it that way, regardless of what tools they use. I've updated my scripts I use to generate the final HTML files for linuxvm.org to invoke tidydbg and alert me if I've done something wrong in the source or template files. I would never describe myself as a proficient HTML coder, but I do make sure my pages validate (now). (There are a couple of pages that don't validate, so I don't put the little "valid html" image on them. Eventually I'll figure out how to do what I want _and_ be able to validate it.)
Horrible HTML can be generated with tools, or by hand. Good HTML is the same way. Like most things, it's not the tool, but how it's used.

When your pages pass the validator.w3.org site and the bobby accessibility test set then maybe you have learned. As it is your average "Im an eleet notepad web page writer" can't write pages that validate and wouldn't have a clue what <b>Hi</> there <>!</> actually did, or if it was valid html
