I believe the best way to really create good HTML pages is at the HTML
level, but if you want WYSIWYG editors you should look into a PC system
networked with something like samba for fetching and placing HTML docs.
You could then use something like Pagemaker 6 with the HTML filter,
which can also create PDF documents.

Cheers,
