OOo's HTML feature more or less works by converting the input HTML to an OOo word-processing document, and then converting it back to HTML. For either the purpose of quickly converting an HTML file to a word-processing document, or quickly converting a word-processing document to HTML, it does a fairly decent job. But it is /not/ a good general-purpose HTML editor; too much information is discarded at each step.


The tags you've never heard of are probably aren't real HTML at all. OOo creates some phony extra HTML (which, by SGML rules, are ignored by browsers) to simplify processing the thing in OOo again.

Simple HTML editing is best done with a text editor. Failing that, NVU (a spinoff of Mozilla -- see <URL:http://www.nvu.com>) is pretty sound.
