    If you're looking for WYSIWYG HTML editing, I suggest using mozilla
    composer instead of AbiWord or Star/Open Office.

    AbiWord's XHTML (XML Based HTML) importer is ok, but far from perfect.
    It chokes on quite a few documents. Frank Franklin was working on a
    libxml2 based HTML and XHTML importer, but that's highly experimental
    right now. YMMV

    If you're just looking to edit the HTML codes (<body>, <p>, etc...) open
    the file as "Text" in the Open dialog.
