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.

While the "valid HTML" arguementargument still stands, the larger WYSIWYG editors have greatly improved their automated code writing in each version.
