For example If your editor does not support background colors, you can always use a website such as colormaker to generate the markup needed to control colors. See Using the Web to Learn and Write HTML for more information. This software allows you to use the applications that you already know to create documents, thus turning your wordprocessor or spreadsheet program into an HTML editor. Conversion tools are available both commercially and for free. Especially useful for turning spreadsheets into HTML tables.
Tables can be time consuming to mark up.
These can be very limited in the way that they interpret the format of your original document. If your original document has a variety of fonts, graphics, columns or tabs, you will need to edit the HTML document that you get from the conversion program. If you must have the same data in different formats, this prevents you from having to format both of them yourself. If you use this as your primary means of creating documents, you will still need to know HTML markup to edit them. This software may not be neccessary for those with more expensive commercial HTML editors.
