Amen to that, but i don't think that WYWSIWYG's are evil,
they are just another form of laziness. ;) I recently used
Fireworks and Dreamweaver to create the templates for a
website. I was handed two Photoshop files that contained the
entire front page and an auxiliary page. I used Fireworks to
splice up the images, and (even though Fireworks generates
HTML) Dreamweaver to create the HTML. Next, add the template
tags, and start coding your design. Honestly, i should
mention that i had to use PHP for this site, but i was
able to utilize
PHP-HTML::Template.
Another simpler (and free) way to start off templates is
with HTML Tidy. Forgive my
bias of operating systems:
$ echo 1 | tidy -asxhtml > skeleton.tmpl
Of course, remaining XHTML compliant is up to you after
that, but shouldn't be hard with tools like
validator.w3.org available.
One of the kicks i get out of using HTML::Template (well,
templates in general) is that i can atcually switch my
"mode of thinking": when i am working on the
script/module i think like a programmer, but when i am
working on the template i think more like a programmer
thinking like a designer. ;)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
