The sentence "Open context menu in an HTML document" should be deleted. 
The item "HTML source" does not exist in context menu.

You need to be in Writer/Web. For a new document use File > New > HTML 
document. For an existing document use the filter "Web pages".

See above.

LibreOffice is a bad HTML editor. You should not use it. It will make a 
lot of changes to your markup, which you do not like. It is in the state 
of HTML 4.0, was already bad that time, and is not maintained any longer.
