   Every text editor can create html-- you just need to manually
insert all the formatting codes yourself. To find out what those
formatting codes are, just select 'view source' (menu item in
Mosaic/Netscrape/Internet Exploder, '\' in Lynx) or save a html
file out and look at the results. You'll learn pretty quickly
what does what.

   I don't use a graphical html editor at all, just emacs for
unix. Even though Emacs has a "html mode", I think that mode is too
damn annoying to use, so I just drop it into straight text mode and go
from there. I use unix not and Apple II simply because that saves a
step in uploading to my account (sometimes I've edited the actual
files used by visi's web server), and I can get instant previews with
Netscrape or Lynx. All you need to do is remember what does what in
html, and you'll do fine.
