Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the basis of the web today. The following
links give introduction to HTML basics or provide a more complete HTML
reference. (For more information on design issues, see the
Web Design Resources
page.) However, HTML will be superceded by XHTML, which is explained on the
XHTML page.

Ian Graham's HTML Index
- Ian Graham developed his original version of this index as an aid to help
him understand HTML. He has since reworked and rewritten it so that it is more
of an educational tool, and this has been a foundation for several books he
has written. Lest you think Ian Graham is some starving student, note that he
has a PhD in theoretical biophysics and is the Vice-President of Research &
Development for a company he co-founded.
