Closest thing to doing this is to install Komposer

http://kompozer.net/

which is a continuation of the development of NVu:

http://www.nvu.com/

which is a continuation of the development of the Mozilla Suite Composer
module IIRC.

Both have a problem with unwanted modification of code that you create
if you use a text editor to write the HTML, then open the file in
Komposer or NVu.

Does Sea Monkey/Composer have any advantage over Kompozer?

It installs with the browser, which kind of makes sense when you are
editing HTML and you want to see what it looks like in a hurry, the
browser is right there.

I believe the browser and Composer have been integrated like this since
Netscape 3 or 4, definitely since before it became Mozilla suite then
Seamonkey.

If you don't want the rest you don't need to install them, and if you
only want to use the editor you can have it launch into Composer.

I don't know about advantages. I was never keen on Nvu's UI, I just
feel more at home with Composer so stuck with that. I never got around
to running Kompozer (which might be a great software).

It can't hurt to try both and make that decision for yourself? The
costs are the same for both products :-)
