Suggestions for a lightweight WYSIWYG editor

[tuqqer]

For the first time in forever, I need to format text with basic html tags. I'm not a coder by any stretch, so I'm looking for a very basic app that I can type normally, and then the app give me the html code to enter.

The site I'm using is Thinkific, an online course creator, and most of the text fields allow basic html tags like
, , and even blockquote, small, center, bullets, font size, and so on.

The simpler and more lightweight, the better. I'm okay with non-free, too.

thanks for any suggestions.

Working with it now, so good timing. I'm unclear if it allows one to have both the working window and the Source code window open at the same time, and to be able to not include the html/head/meta tags on each new file, but checking it out.

So far, when I try deleted the header tags, it reappears next time I open it up.

What you're describing is not WYSIWYG.

BBEdit is quite good, but it's not WYSIWYG.

I figured I might not be describing it well. What I want is something like this free HTML editor has:

This site may be all I need, but I'd prefer to be able to easily save snippets of code that I will be reusing over and over.

Wait— I thought BBEdit was a text editor. It can create HTML too?

He wants to turn text into HTML with a few basic formatting clicks ...

The issue with many apps, even simple ones, is that the resulting HTML code isn’t terribly clean. For that matter, you could just use most word processors and Save As HTML to generate simple (but not clean?) code.

Yes
