What this is
These pages will show you how to construct web pages using a text editor and plain HTML/XHTML code. (HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language and XHTML stands for Extensible HTML.) While WYSIWYG editors are available to remove much of the tedium of web page construction, it is useful to understand the HTML product being created. This will allow you to fix poor constructions from editors, and appreciate clever constructions on other people's web pages.
The ten sections are described and linked below but on each page you will also find a jump list to the right to take you to any other page directly.
I recommend the book Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML by ELizabeth Freeman and Eric Freeman. The book does an excellent job of covering most of HTML and always explains why. It brought this semi-literate HTMLer right up to date on the current structure of HTML and XHTML and I believe it would work just as well for beginners. Further information can be found in the Resources link.
[I have done a major reorg on these pages, Sept. 2008, but have not totally reviewed the results. Patience.]
