AW: [thelist] PWS as a Webserver

currently I'm teaching basic html to teenagers and young adults, and I
think that Frontpage (and WYSIWYG-Editors in general) is a bloody
nuisance.
It's very hard to convice somebody to learn that <tag>-stuff when they
get the same results by clicking buttons. So, I'm afraid, they will
never learn the strengths and limitations of HTML. The predictable
result are just many more really bad web pages, when their future
employers ask them ("You learned that internet stuff in school, didn't
you?") to create the companies website in their lunch-break. I would
rather have my students to be intimidated by HTMl's syntax than spoiled
by frontpage.
