ok - that's just about the single most controversal question you could ask.

As you are using the g/groups interface it should be trivial for you to
research previous threads on the subject - in any of the cross-posted
groups.

Your goal is to produce web documents that get your message across to the
most visitors - which, in part, means ensuring they conform to the
published specifications.

If you are able to master the complexities of generated markup then I have
been led to believe that either d/w or f/p are useful tools - however, it
seems to me that beginers have enough to learn and would be best advised
to use a suitable text editor.
