More on HTML

There are hundreds of guides to HTML in print, such as Musciano and Kennedy, and Elizabeth Castro's HTML 4.0 for the World Wide Web, fourth edition (Berkeley, CA: Peachpit Press, 1999). There are also a wealth of tutorials and other materials on the World Wide Web. However, anyone approaching HTML for the first time should be careful to use the most current guides available; some tags used in earlier versions of HTML have now been deprecated by the World Wide Web Consortium since Cascading Style Sheets represent a more efficient way of formating web pages than the earlier methods. When a tag is deprecated, browsers are no longer required to recognize it, and thus web pages written with deprecated tags may be less readable in future browsers. The World Wide Web Consortium provides a good HTML tutorial and CNET has a Spotlight on HTML section that covers several different topics. Webreference.com provides a good reference source for HTML Style Guidelines.
