frontpage, dreamweaver, arachnaphilia, even Word can be saved as html.   Are 
you talking about a web page editor? or are you talking about a text editor 
that has features for inserting html around that you see (not underlying the 
text)?
Check out the text editors on empowermentzone.

  Subject: Creating A Text Editor


  Hi: I am thinking of creating a Text Editor in Vb.net. It will use either a 
TextBox or RichTextBox as the Work Area for the file. I have code to handle 
some of the key events such as search, copy and paste. Any suggestions or docs 
on the subject you might recommend?
  This editor will be a basic Text Editor but will have features to replace 
standard code with code that will allow the file to be used as an online 
document containing html code and include active links to predefined sections 
and all that jazz.
  In other words, I create a document in the TextBox,there will be some popups 
to do things like add sections and hyperlinks. They will be translated into the 
appropriate html so the document can be included in a Webpage. Also, there will 
be the usual suspects like perhaps a hot key to add a <br /> tag here and there 
and other things I can't think of at the moment. It will be an ongoing project.
  If there is something already out there that does these thingys let me know 
so I don't ReInvent the wheel.
  Or, if you have messed with building a Text Editor you might throw out a few 
gotyas if you remember any.
  Thanks:
