I completely agree. MS-Word and MS-Excel generate "HTML" that is a mess.

I use Emacs for all my HTML, PHP, CSS, etc. etc. editing.  Both the *ix
version and the Windows version. (Depends on where I am physically, and what
in particular I'm editing). :)

Well...not impossible.  But usually not worth it. :)

I've done it once, because I didn't want to recreate the entire file in HTML
(it was a large file).  But I didn't need to edit the file (which means it
probably doesn't display  on some browsers, but since it was mostly for me,
I can cope with the issues). :)
