I'd highly recommend XEmacs for writing HTML. Granted, it's not WYSIWYG, but
then again, WYSIWYG doesn't exist with HTML, anyway. Further on, XEmacs
makes writing HTML rather easy with its syntax highlighting, autoindention,
keyboard shortcuts for many tags and a rather useful pop-up menu for the
others. With regard to spellchecking - XEmacs uses ispell, and XEmacs' lisp
wrapper for ispell is indeed able to filter out tags so that ispell only
runs on the actual content of the page. Give it a try... :-)
