All HTML commands come in paired sets. Your Web page can have graphics, links to other sites, different fonts, colors and paragraph alignments. You can put tables into the page, and even have multiple pages presented on the screen in frames. What HTML editors provide is the ability to make your Web page without having to know these HTML commands.
Web editors come in several varieties, each with advantages and disadvantages.
One group is offered by both Microsoft and Netscape and built into their Web Browsers. These are basic HTML editors which are scaled down versions of high end editors. The second group is HTML converters. Both Microsoft and Corel have them in their Windows based word processors, spreadsheets and presentation software. These software packages allow users to save their work in HTML format.
