HyperText Markup Language (HTML.)

Never mind open source, I haven't seen a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) editor since the 1990s. An old version of Netscape had an HTML WYSIWYG editor builtin. Dreamweaver. I can't stomach LibreOffice.

I agree, HTML does seem like what I'm looking for, except I don't want to edit the tags directly. I really just want an editor that displays headings, bulleted and numbered lists, and hyperlinks, without forcing me to deal with soft vs. hard wrapping issues (on the Markdown / basic text editor end of the spectrum) or styles (on the Libreoffice end of the spectrum).

<meta charset="utf-8">I've resigned myself to writing raw HTML. It's horrible, but that's what I've got. I just tried a “modern” editor but the saved HTML is akin to homepage—no thanks.

  <h1>headings</h1>
  <h2>subheadings</h2>
  &bull; bullets
  <ul>
    <li>bulleted</li>
    <li>lists</li>
  </ul>
  <ol>
     <li>numbered</li>
     <li>lists</li>
  </ol>
