All,
ooops - sorry! there's an extra > in my response, making it seem as if one

The new version of Quanta Plus for Linux + KDE that is supposed to be coming
out in KDE 3.2 (but can be checked out now from CVS) might fit this. The
already released, "current version" does not have WYSIWYG - it's just a
coders editor, but this next version is supposed to provide WYSIWYG and lots
of people keep talking about how standards compliant and cool it's supposed
to be. I don't know if it will attempt to use tables or not - but based on
the fact that it is supposed to be so standards compliant - including, I
believe, the ability to handle multiple markup languages (whatever xml
language you can provide a dtd or schema) you'd think they'd make it do
things the right way.
>From the few comments I've seen posted, the current development version in
CVS is supposed to be already quite useable.
If by chance they aren't going css-based in their WYSIWYG then now would be
the perfect time for all "Friends of Standards" to provide some positive
encouragement to the dev group.

I never said it was perfect ;o)
BTW have you got text zoom ramped up? the site looks okay in my Mozilla
(winXP) but does go wobb;y if I text zoom (as it would with fixed
position images)
Oh well...
Anyone know of any other free wysiwg web page editors that don't use
tables for layout?
cheers
