Very useful to me too.Thanks for the link!

Typically it would go something like this:

1. Create an HTML document with divs or other HTML elements that you need to
contain your text and images.
2. Either type or copy-paste your text where it belongs.
3. Add images where they belong using Insert > Image.
4. Create a style sheet with IDs and classes to style and position
everything.

It is really important to learn the basics of HTML and CSS before attempting
this - it's going to be frustrating and difficult until you do.
