I have checked several websites you did and none of them had a single
webpage without markup errors. None. Zero. In fact, none of them had a
single valid doctype declaration, most of them had dozens and dozens of
<font> everywhere, hundreds of , etc
I found this in one of your webpage:
<span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</span>
<font size="+0">
And it converted my font size <font size="+1"> tags to:

I'd be extremely surprised if Nvu actually did that.

A lot of text editors will do that.

The thing is you could still be able to do this. I use markup cleaner
and HandCoder 0.3.4 with Nvu 1.0 with the latest Tidy (Feb. 2006): it
works great.

Well, there is such a thing as valid markup code, you know. Valid and
validated markup code.

You're blaming Nvu way too much, I'd say.
