What is the best way of going about learning HTML?
Reading helps, and so does practical experience; we recommend a combination of both. You should start by finishing off the rest of this page–it gives you a manageable-sized portion of answers to questions you may have. You’ll undoubtedly have more complicated questions as you learn more. One the best ways to learn HTML is to see how other people have done it! Using your favorite browser, find your favorite page. Then look for the “Source” or “Document Source” command under the “View” menu. This will show you a window with all of the HTML used to create that page. Look it over; more times than not, you’ll be surprised at the relatively few commands it took to put together what seemed at first like a complicated page!
