html-tidy will fix FrontPage mess, as well as dreamweaver and golive 
mess for you, not to mention MSOrfice-as-html-editor mess.

Actually, there are a number of windows editors that you would like if 
you like QuantaPlus.  HotDog and HomeSite are nice commercial editors.  
On the freeware front are FirstPage2000 and html-kit.  TextPad can also 
be used as a nice html editor.  Just starting to maintain my site with 
Linux tools, I was frankly surprised at how few choices there were.  I 
expected an abundance of Quanta-like products.
