I don't know anything about editplus on Windows.

What you are describing is what happens when you have a really clean
text editor - i.e. a text editor that doesn't artificially add carriage
returns or line feeds.

What you want is a word processor that creates html pages - try
openoffice.

You might want to look at html editing programs like bluefish and nvu.
