=== Valid HTML code ===
HTML is a heavily structured [[markup language]]. There are certain rules on how HTML must be written as defined by the [[W3C]] standards. Following these rules allows for sites that are accessible to handicapped people, and also to [[wireless]] devices like [[mobile phone]]s or [[Personal Digital Assistant|PDA]]s.
WYSIWYG editors frequently fail to adhere to these rules, turning out code that works to some degree but is syntactically incorrect. Older versions of [[Microsoft FrontPage]], in particular, were notorious for producing code that would only work properly in [[Internet Explorer]], as (to a lesser degree) was [[Netscape Composer]] for [[Netscape Navigator]]. Then again, text editors do not provide complete validation for all of these rules either, so valid code still relies on knowledge and accuracy of the coder.
