No, that's not true.

I could write an entire page of XHTML in about 2 minutes.

It only "takes ages" if you don't understand - would you advocate using an
application to solve quadratic equations etc., because "they're too hard"?

They are hundreds and hundreds of times harder than writing markup, which
is a piece of cake.

This person wants to write websites, not purist XHTML... they want
templates, they want it (presumably) to work in different browsers across
different platforms.

I do NOT see how using your shell script solution, or some WYSIWYG which
generates code which only works in some browsers, would help him in any way
at all.
