Hello Linux folkz,
Could somebody please advise based on personal experience,
are there any good Linux compatible WYSIWYG HTML

Thank you in advance for any hints or opinions,

I think what people are trying to tell you, each in their individually
inimitable style, is that WYSIWYG for HTML is a dubious proposition.

I would say that if your needs are casual and occasional, a WYSIWYG HTML
editor is a fine thing to use, but if you're needs are more serious
(e.g., you care about browser independence and maintainability) you'll
do best by learning to deal with HTML on its own terms, not through the
filter of a WYSIWYG editor.

Nonetheless there are people (I guess) who do professional Web
development work using things like DreamWeaver or InDesign (certainly
Macromedia and Adobe want you to believe this), so you could also use
one of these running on Windows under virtualization (VMware, Xen,
etc.) on a Linux box. They're pretty pricey, though and you'd need a
Windows license, too..
