Standard HTML by open-source WYSIWYG editor?

[feta.cheese]

Does somebody know an open-source WYSIWYG HTML editor that would
produce _standard_ HTML? It should have Windows support.

What do you mean by "standard_HTML"? Do you mean no extra mark up that
shouldn't be there? If so, there is no WYSIWYG editor (free or paid)
that meets your requirements.

NVue and a couple of others come closer that DW, FP and their ilk. But
all love to inject inline style. If you want purity, don't use a WYSIWYG
editor, use an enhanced text-editor with macro and syntax-highlighting
to speed development and preview with a browser. I use CrimsonEditor

I recommend KompoZer 0.77 which is an upgraded version of Nvu 1.0 with
about 40 bug fixes.

And you can find an User Guide at

I installed and use HTML HandCoder 0.3.4 (with latest HTML Tidy feb.
2006 downloadable from
http://dev.int64.org/tidy.html
) from within KompoZer 0.77 to clean poorly coded webpages:

HandCoder and HTML Tidy are very useful, helpful extensions for KompoZer
0.77 and Nvu 1.0

A localized Suomi version is available for Nvu 1.0 only.

As mentioned by others, in the long term, you are better off with hand
coded edition instead of WYSIWYG editors.
