Thanks everyone - I've decided to go with Kompozer. Here's what I'm doing. I'm in the process of writing a Quickly template for writing ebooks. My idea is that you can use quickly to create an ebook project, that when it is 'compiled' produces an epub file. So far it's working really quite well. So far the template can create an ebook project, add a chapter to it, set up metadata. You also get version control 'for free'. At the moment if you issue a quickly edit - it launches gedit for each page, but I figured it might be nicer for authors to use something like Kompozer to paste their text. The plan is to suggest kompozer in the package. As a future development I also hope to create audio books (using festival), mening that an author can release the book for sighted and blind users. thanks everyone.

I've tried others and they prove (even more) useless. In the end all WYSIWYG editors are awful - you will just keep having trouble, as well as horrible and bloated code. Like others previously, I suggest learning XHTML and using gedit if you are looking to move forward. Gedit is a brilliant little program, really simple to use. If you are looking for some XHTML tutorials try w3schools.com. Another quick tip before I go: try Zen-coding (http://code.google.com/p/zen-coding/) it is an absolutely brilliant add-on to gedit to help you code! It saves an awful lot of time. Hope this helps.

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a wysiwyg editor for ubuntu? Ideally I was looking for something like kompozer, but without the KDE requirement (it does have a KDE requirement right?) cheers!
