Amaya (the W3C's browser) also has a HTML editor, that is meant to be
quite good.  IIRC http://lwn.net/ had a link to a summary of HTML
editors for Linux recently.  I would post the link but I'm out of $ on
my Internet account at the moment :(

The basic problem is that, in the end, you *can't* accurately specify
what something looks like in HTML, so what you see only has a passing
relationship to what someone else sees (�WYSHOAPRTWSES?).  Colours will
be different.  Browser windows will be different.  Support for various
standards is different.  Fonts will be different.  90% of the time all
this does not matter because 90% of the time people are using IE on
Windows.  However, for us 10%... :)
