I'm uneasy about _using_ a wysiwyg editor, because I know what kind of
garbapge those things usually produce.   :(

HTML is not programming. HTML is nowhere *near* programming. HTML is
just saying what something is, e.g. "this is a paragraph" is said in
HTML by placing the text inside: <p></p>.

Repeat after me: "HTML is not programming!".

I think the big problem here is that people are used to looking at you
as the expert, so when they need advice on how to do things right - they
look at how the expert does it...   :-/

Anyway, here's a little thing I just made for you:

http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/ASCII-to-HTML/

It takes a "pure ascii" picture, and turns it into HTML, which you can
then copy-paste to Notepad.
