I was surprised how close HTML /CSS can get when matching Flex layout code. However, it's only after I went from using MXML so long that I learned HTML's way of doing the same.
In the RD8 demo you can use constraints using Flex top, left, right, bottom and horizontal center and it will generate the correct HTML in the code panel. You can also arrange components in a hgroup and vgroup and you can see the way that would look HTML in the generated HTML code. Well, one way it could look. It still needs refinement. Radiate started as a Flex tool but I had to do an HTML site so added that conversion piece in. I get distracted easy. :P Right now it is simply a multi language code generator in a beta like state. Plus as Flex developers we sometimes have to do HTML sites or create raw HTML. And I wanted to help show code as a learning tool for developers from all backgrounds. It's free, and you can use it now, http://www.radii8.com/demo PS you might want to watch the video on the main site.
