What editor would people recommend for running under Debian? (I dislike Mozilla's offering.)
I have always used Bluefish and Quanta for my Linux editing, although I also have NVU at home as my girlfriend prefers the WYSIWYG editors...

Requirements:
*NOT* a (so-called) WYSIWYG thing. CSS-capable Easily understood by a beer of very little brian.
And:
Does anyone know of a file which lists all the available HTML tags, and where it can be got?
I think you are asking about an index of HTML Elements which you can find here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/index/elements.html
This is the W3C index for HTML4.01 spec - I use this page as opposed to the full spec when I am hand coding html as it is much quicker and easier to find the definitions of a particular tag I am entering.
(I might have missed it, but I did look on W3C.com)
And:
could someone please explain (in worms of one syllabub) what
<!--SELECTION--><!--/SELECTION--> does?
(I've been playing with Pagemill, which came with the scanner.)
These are comments - anything between <!-- as the start and --> as the end will be passed over by the browser, so is handy for documenting your HTML code or even temporarily removing part of a page (e.g. if you have a link with a description that needs removing, but you might want to replace it later you could place the code between the <!-- and -->).
HTH,
