Theres something about Pages that annoys me: that it wont do a simple and straightfoward Save as HTML, but only allows saves to Apples proprietary iWeb. That has always struck me as a cheesy Microsoft-like move. Now that iCloud is coming, so that Apple isnt going to support iWeb any longer, theres no excuse in the world for not giving us Save as HTML in the next iteration of Pages.
actually if you publish locally you end up wiyh a folder and the HTML filies. Not a clean HTML, though, but fine to be edited by HTML experts,
