Is it true there is no way to display the HTML code? I’m used to GoLive where I can switch back and forth… Very handy for creating ads for Ebay where you only want select code…

Freeway is a design program, not a code editor. If you want to add  
code to a specific part of the page, there are lots and lots of ways  
to do that. But when you design in Freeway, you are not actually  
looking at the product of the HTML – you are looking at a design  
model of much higher resolution and depth than HTML is capable of  
expressing. When you publish or preview, Freeway generates the optimum  
HTML to express your design intent at that moment. If you move  
something – even just a pixel in any direction – Freeway throws out  
the entire page and runs its algorithm again to be sure that there  
isn’t a _better_ way to do things.

To add a bit of code to a specific part of the page, add a Markup Item  
to the page. To add a lump of code to one of the “cardinal” parts of  
the page (before the end of the head, before the end of the body, etc)  
then use the Page / HTML Markup dialog.
