If you write in HTML and know your elements well then it all becomes easier and your HTML gets more feature rich. It lso encourages you to break down paragraphs which are okay for book style writing into shorter web style paragraphs.
What I find really helps for writing HTML in HTML is to use sections, articles, headers, blockquotes and so forth to structure your writing. WYSIWYG editors never allow you to do this properly. They are 'what you see' rather than 'what you mean'. There is a difference.
Blocks of text should be like procedures in code, in a section, aside or other HTML sensible element and with a header at the top.
If you enforce this writing style it becomes much easier to have super-neat documents. It is just a pity you can't do this with WYSIWYG or some markdown thing. Really HTML is the ultimate.
