--- Comment #10 from Buovjaga <todventtu at suomi24.fi> ---
Zenaan: you are doing good work in the bug tracker, but I'm afraid I must
disagree with this particular proposal.

Aiming to be a WYSIWYG web editor would be too much sprawl for LibreOffice.
Above all: WYSIWYG simply is not a good way to do web design. It is obsolete
and we should not invest in it. Maybe some day a revolution will make WYSIWYG
relevant again, but that revolution cannot happen on the platform that is
LibreOffice (due to the baggage of the codebase).

The most reliable and easy way to design for the web these days is to:
- use your favorite code editor
- view the results of your editing in actual web browsers
- use the dev tools of the browsers

Instead of adding more, all web editing capability should be removed from
LibreOffice.

As open source web editors, I would recommend checking out
http://brackets.io/ (web-focused code editor from Adobe)
https://www.kdevelop.org/ (general code editor from KDE)

If still unwilling to let go of the idea of a dedicated WYSIWYG editor:

commercial editions)
