The problem - and a major one to my way of thinking - is that these
WYSIWYG programs add a bunch of unnecessary verbage ...
I've simplified HTML-coding by having the basics in a saved
notepad document
to which I merely need add whatever whenever; I've yet to find a
site which can't view these.
Well, that's my 2cents' worth ;-)

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Using LO Writer to edit HTML
To: [email protected]
Yes, a text editor helps for some editing of an HTML file. Yet, for some
work I need a WYSIWYG editor for the look and feel of the web document.
I use Kate [Ubuntu based Linux Mint] for the text editor. I use it for the
Find/Replace option to change 91 links from [say] "4.3.3.2_" to
"4.3.4.1_". That takes too much time in a WYSIWYG editor, or at least the
ones I have used.
Currently I use Kompozer, but when I upgrade from Mint 16 to 17 [14.04
based] and beyond, the graphical display methods do not like the upgraded
version that Ubuntu 14.04/14.10 now uses. So I will be looking for a
different DEDICATED web page editor.
Yes, Writer can do the HTML editing, but I would prefer a WYSIWYG editor
that was created specifically for web page editing and hopefully with error
checking options.
