[ubuntu-uk] Any recommendations for an xhtml editor

[kpb]

Hello Sean and all

While Markdown/textile are pretty light, my personal site isn't pretty :-)

http://sohcahtoa.org.uk/

(The Llamas are a family joke). The method currently in use is described here

More ambitious 'static page' html generators, probably for people doing *large* sites with greater expectations as to 'design' and production values.
