WYSIWYGS Edtiros Suck, Use WYSIWYM Editors

The basic problem today with developing or using Content Management Systems, Blogs, etc. is that we want to allow the content writers to have a flexible editor with features such as bullets, bold font, different font size, etc. On the other hand, we want to have a strict CSS design for our website, so that the stylesheet will determine how the content will be displayed in a unified manner. With WYSIWYM editors, both goals can be acheived, since WYSIWYM editors generate strict and standard XHTML code, which was designed specifically for this purpose.

Anyways, here is an excellent article about why WYSIWYM editors kick ass:
