Introduction to HTML Index

Introduction to HTML, created in 1995 by Eric Meyer, is maintained on this server for historical reference. While much of this information is still relevant, it is important to remember that it was written for HTML 2.0. The more current versions of HTML and XHTML in use today have different requirements. To learn more, you may also wish to review our Web Development blog entries on HTML/XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets.
