I don't use it as a "WYSIWYG" editor (problematic concept considering 
the Web). I use it as an editor that allows me to write lightly 
structured (headings, paragraphs, lists) documents without having to 
type tags.

Using your favorite text editor or a small script.

That's OK.

If you ask for bold or italics, <b></b> and <i></i> are the most 
appropriate markup. If you want generic emphasis, ask for generic 
emphasis, which is supported as well. <span style='font-style: italic;'> 
instead of <i> is silly.

Their paragraphs won't be. Hopefully this area will be improved as the 
development of Nvu goes on. Also, I don't like tho way Nvu sprinkles 
style='...' all over if you are not careful.

I use Nvu for retouching existing pages, because Nvu doesn't mess 
everything up in that case like OOo does.
