No.

But okay, it's the same with every wysiwyg editor - it has its character.
And for what I've been through, Dreamweaver has it far worse, with tag
closing and immediately reopening - here's a simple example:

<.p><.span class="body"> <.b>Guy Name<./b><.br>
                Technisch advies<./span><.span class="body"> <.br>
		<.a href="mailto:what(at)d.com">what(at)d.com<./a><.br>
                <.br>
                <./span><./p>

But just like in FrontPage, there's ways around this, if you know how it
will react to certain things - which is why switching to a different program
requires some working-in.  I know lots of peple who are doing the switch
from Quark to Indesign these days.  After a few weeks of swearing, they are
getting how it works - and appreciate it a lot more than Quark.
