Introduction to HTML
Someone on a mailing list asked about how to create web pages. I dusted off an old intro-to-HTML page I created for a friend back in '97 or so and emailed it to the list, but it just occurred to me that I should probably post it as a web page while I'm at it.
So if you want to learn the basics of how to hand-code HTML, go to my Intro to HTML page, save it as a text file (with a filename ending in .html), and then edit it in a text editor.
