Hi Olajide,

Most of the in-browser editors mentioned are wrappers around the MSHTML control in IE 
which is just a derivative of a 5 year old version of FrontPage. Microsoft is no 
longer supporting or enhancing it. Any editors that have color-pickers or 
font-selectors do not follow best-practices in Web standards.

Some think that if you take HTML 4 generated by WYSIWYG editors, shape, twist, squeeze 
and pull it, you get XHTML. If you want accessible and semantically meaningful XHTML, 
then generated XHTML from the get go. Check out this article:

I am one of the developers of XStandard - a standards-compliant XHTML (Strict / 1.1) 
WYSIWYG editor. We offer a free version so that Web standards are in reach of every 
developer. A Mozilla/Firefox version will be available next month.
