(which brings many benefits), etc

Why tables for layout is stupid. Problems defined, solutions offered.
Most possibly the best resource on this issue covering all aspects: it
was a seminar presentation, part of a conference in 2003. Translated in

Personally, I use an advanced text editor and manually code all my
webpages. When I use an HTML editor, I use KompoZer 0.77 mostly because
I can use the latest HTML Tidy (HandCoder 0.3.4) to pretty print the
code. When Composer 2 is released, I'll probably use it.
