I didn't say, and I don't think, that word processors produce good
HTML. I wouldn't even try to draft it in Word. But they do make
good word-processed documents. With a basic understanding of styles
and a few other best practices, you can avoid the problems you
describe.
Soon enough, you watch, we'll be able to write HTML the way we
write wp docs. Not today, but soon. It's only a matter of time.
I tried. Believe me, I tried. The styles in Word are a joke -- a
*bad* joke. And no, I wasn't talking about HTML editing; I was
talking about word processing. I go to the extra step of converting
to HTML because Word is unable to give me consistent formatting;
HTML+CSS do give me that.
Sorry to hear that, it's the opposite of my experience.
I'll concede that the built-in styles out of the box don't suit me, so
I've redefined them in my Normal template, and I routinely redefine them
for specific documents. I do get the consistent formatting you seek, and
I've worked with documents as large as 100,000 words.
But all this is off-topic here, so let's drop it.
