FrontPage Express is a WYSIWYG editor that helps one create an HTML document without one having to see the codes. What Front Page does is to generate the HTML codes for a web page while it is being typed and formatted. One can see the HTML codes of a page being edited by clicking on "View" - "HTML". Following is a table that shows what HTML codes are generated by some of Front Page Express's Toolbar Commands.
