Looking for an html editor

When I format my html, I will do it in source view, thank you, because
any html editor that presumes to output code, outputs crap.

But I would like an editor in which I can edit plain text in WYSIWYG.

I tried Seamonkey, and found that it is not ready for prime time - it
does not remember what files you recently used, it keeps doubling the
carriage returns, so that one's source view gets sparser and sparser,
and it keeps inserting <brwhen it should insert <p (There is an
option to turn this misbehavior off, but it does not turn it off in
all the time in all cases.

I tried NVU, and it also had the bugs with carriage returns (this was
a long time ago, and maybe they have fixed since then, but when last I
checked, no one was fixing known and serious bugs in NVU)

A lot of what I want would be served by a script that converted html
strict to some more edit friendly form and back again, for example
replacing </p><pby a pair of carriage returns.

XXE (XmlMind XML Editor) is a near-WYSIWYG XML editor. Has support for
XHTML and other document markups:

It's what I use for my webpages.

I don't actually have that; but the script behind the "Pack" button of
<URL:http://www.merlyn.demo n.co.uk/js-quick.htmcould be adapted to
consider <pand </pas newlines on input, and to separate paragraphs
with, say, \n</p>\n\n<p>\n on output.

It was actually written to deal with textual News articles with bad
line-lengths.

If the text is guaranteed not to contain, say, Hebrew, the input stage
could replace <brwith, say, Aleph, and the output could convert that
to \n<br - and maybe to deal with other markup.

It's a good idea to read the newsgroup c.l.j and its FAQ. See below.

That is, the HTML version would say <a...
