Wow. Whatever you do, DON'T use Front Page. It generates the most
horrid HTML that only works on IE and won't work on anything else.

I'll add vim to the list, and for a WYSIWYMG editor mozilla is the
place to start. None of these cost $$ either.

And google for HTML Reference. NCSA has one, and netscape has one.
There you'll get an explanation of what the tags mean and the options
available for them.
Above all, remember that HTML is not Postscript, and my screen is not
a sheet of paper coming out of a publishing house. IOW, HTML is a
markup language that provides suggestions to the browser for rendering
the page, but my browser is guarunteed to render it differently than
yours. You can't do desktop publishing in HTML.
