What are you referring to here? I have tried inline graphics either with or without text flowing around the graphic. This can be nifty, given a good graphic and proper page placement, but as to automatic placement of a graphic on the next page all by itself with its legend (the rules according to university x)? There is an obscure method in lyx that will automagically create a graphic/figure page on the next full page immediately following its first referent in the text (ie, via some special character/insert command/latex command)? > [0] There IS NO WYSIWYG FOR HTML!

A browser is a browser is a browser, provided it understands proper HTML. There is no magic reason a WYSIWYG HTML editor cannot be done. It just hasn't yet been done right. There is nothing magic about manually entering a <tag> by hand and via a nice GUI app/button. Nothing. The <tag> is a <tag> is a <tag>. Perhaps the problem has been people who create a webpage to fit within the immediate bounds of their current running editing app, thinking that this represents a universal view? I don't know. Starting and stopping paragraphs (<P></P>), headings (<H></H>), etc, are not magically "better" if done by hand via text editor vs in GUI app. So long as a paragraph remains a paragraph no matter what size a browser window is set at, so long as headings remain headings, italics remain italics, etc, I don't see where there could possibly be a problem. Perhaps the problems comes from people using froo-froo crap styles unnecessarily, things that are barely standard? Things that should never have been added in the first place? - -- "Our ship is in the hands of pilots who are steering directly under full sail for a rock.
