HTMLDocEdit is a very small WYSIWYG that one can use for making quick webpages.  It is downloadable from NirSoft, and doesn’t need to be installed.  In fact, one can just unzip it into any folder and use it from there.  It naturally works with USB FlashDrives.  It fits into a floppy, too.

Here are the features I don’t like about it though 

1. It uses <DIV> instead of <P>;
2. The tags it makes are in capital letters when these should be in small letters;
3. It employs the tags <STRONG> and <EM> instead of <b> and <i>;
4. It doesn’t have a button for the header tags; one will have to increase font-size manually and select “Bold”for a header.

The feature I like most about it is that it recognizes CSS.  I opened up one of my heavily CSS defined webpages in HTMLDocEdit and this presented the page the way I would want it to appear.  While most other WYSIWYGs won’t show list-style button graphics, or even icons used as backgrounds for context-menus, HTMLDocEdit renders them without difficulty.

For this ability alone, HTMLDocEdit shows itself to be a real WYSIWYG editor.
