I also use HomeSite to produce HTML documentation for a Web-based
application.
I agree with David that it's an excellent tool. I wasn't terribly
comfortable with HTML when I started using HomeSite (I've since taken an
HTML course) and the tag help and color coded tags were a big help when I
was getting started.
