Just tried KompoZer and created a few files with data from different sources, and it seems quite good and fit for my purpose.

And my purpose is that I have a large bunch of html files in variable code quality and some rtf and doc files - actually it's *cough* fanfiction *cough* - I know we don't mention it
I need to able to read those on my CyBook - which can't handle html tables for instance, or rtf files, etc. And lots of my html files don't show up well in general on CyBook, because the code is not being interpreted correctly.

Now I've tried copying and pasting text into the WYSIWYG editor. Works fine for doc and rtf - not for html, though, but then I can just copy it into Word or Pages and from there into KompoZer, and then it's fine. It all seem to look the same in the end, in KompoZer that seem to prefer line breaks (br) to paragraph tags, but so far, the files I've tried it with, looks nice on the CyBook, with minimal fuss and work. At least I find it a lot less work overall than editing the code directly. As you (probably) know, there's a lot of web pages out there with crappy code *eurgh*
With copying and pasting, KompoZer cleans it up nicely in a way that fits my purpose; displaying it on CyBook in a reasonable way.

Actually I've been looking for a WYSIWYG editor for MAc for a while, and this one seems to be good - thanks! to whoever recommended this initially.
