How to Edit Iweb to HTML
Apple's iWeb is GUI (graphical user interface) only. There is no built-in way to manually code or edit HTML. In fact, the HTML isn't generated until you publish the page. You can either publish your pages locally and alter the pages yourself or use the ShareWare program iWeb Enchancer that can do the process for you.
