"But it
was a long time ago. All I remember is the
pain. But, then again, I was trying to use it to make websites,
not creating a post that can be done easily enough in the message
dialogue box".
Recent versions are far less of a
pain, and actually do reasonably well for creating W3C compliant
XML, HTML/XHTML, and CSS.
As to using the "message
dialogue box", see my above post.
