I have struggled with similar problems across the years and never really found a quick technique. What I use at present is Amaya which is Open Source and part of W3C.<br>If a page is very simple you can create a new (valid) page in the (X)HTML of your choice and paste in text and insert images. You still need time and learning though.
<br>It works for me because I have my own sites and stylesheet that I know my way around and I can paste in text and install pictures and use existing style to do quick fine-tuning.<br>I hope someone knows a neater technique and can tell us.

This does however require knowledge of perl and xpath. I think tidy should get you most of the way there.
