HTML • No mystery. Find one of several thousand sites that explain how to use it. NCSA at U of I is a good one. • HTML only gets complex when it is created by software -- and this is then artificially complex. • Write some basic HTML yourself to demystify it. Use an editor (such as MS Word) for more extensive documents.
