| Brief Editorial
The people who have tried to teach me HTML
almost invariably insist that I learn the language in which web pages are
written, and when I show someone else how to make a page, that I should
insist they also learn HTML. To illustrate my point of view, click View
on your menu bar and select Page Source (. . . in Netscape. With
Internet Explorer click View and select Source). See! This
simple bit of text you are reading is embedded in a bunch of codes, labels,
and parentheses. HTML is a simple enough language, and I do encourage you
to learn it . . . in time. For now, use an editor to do the work. I'll
give some good reasons to learn HTML later. You can lay out nice looking
pages in minutes with an editor. When you want to add something the editor
can't do for you, learn enough of the HTML code to do what you need.
