Welcome to HoTMetaL 2.0 Help

This page lets you look up sources of information on HoTMetaL and HTML.

HoTMetaL documentation

The HoTMetaL manual is available on-line.

See the release notes for last-minute information and reports on known problems.

Other sources of information

The following sources are some that we like.

• This page has links that answer some frequently asked questions.
• A Beginner's Guide to HTML
• A Beginner's Guide to URLs
• Style Guide for Online Hypertext
• The authoritative source of information on HTML 2.0.
• Two books by Laura Lemay:
  • Teach yourself Web publishing with HTML in a week
  • Teach yourself more Web publishing with HTML in a week
• The World Wide Web Handbook, Peter Flynn
• The HTML Sourcebook, Ian Graham, ISBN: 0-471-11849-4, Wiley, 1995

Beware of:

• Books that make heavy use of extensions to HTML 2.0 without warning you of the possible problems associated with using them
• Books that say that the <P> element is for causing a line break
• Books that don't mention validation
