Try Quanta. Comes standard with Mandrake. It does have a WYSIWYG like
interface. I like it because it works pretty well to help teach you
HTML as well. Which I think is a good thing. Give it a try. I've
used it to write basic HTML doc pages for our network.
I used to know
HTML really well, and did all my HTML in vi, but I had to head back to
an editor. Quanta's got to the point where I could probably drop
Quanta and head back to vi.
