HTML Sourcebook

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the cornerstone of World Wide Web publishing. It is the computer language used to prepare Hypertext documents for the Internet. To create Web Pages that Internet users can view, one must write an HTML file that defines the text, graphics, audio, video and other elements that the document will contain. This revised edition describes the commands, techniques, and tools needed by prospective Web publishers to create World Wide Web documents. The author teaches the fundamental concepts and technology underlying the Web and details, command-by-command, the HTML language itself. The book then illustrates methods by which readers can actually write and run HTML files and provides extensive, annotated listings of HTML resources and Web publishing tools. This edition features new or expanded guidance on a number of critical topics, including the HTML 3.0 specification, Web document design, experimental HTML features, the common gateway interface (CGI) standard, and examples of how to create effective HTML documents.
