Sure, that's true, but if one wants to use such a (somewhat dated) app it
might be worth a try, and at least it would be a quick one.
But iirc the OP was talking about required javascript support which would
rule out amaya anyway.

To the OP: 
a quick web search showed another alternative that (iirc) has not been
mentioned before, see http://bluegriffon.org/ . I don't know anything
about this program, except that it appears to be commercial but open
source and they have a deb package available (which may or may not work
with debian) and it apparently can be used for free with a somewhat
reduced feature set. 

Regards

Michael
