Welcome to the gateway page for the Bare Bones Guide to HTML.
The Guide lists every tag in the official HTML 3.2 specification, plus the
Netscape extensions, in a concise, organized format. The
latest version of the Bare Bones Guide to HTML is always available at http://werbach.com/barebones/.
Comments and suggestions are welcome. While you're here, take
time out to visit the -k-
page, featuring the Whirrled Project, the Home Page Hall of
Fame, and lots of other original content!
Additional information for Web page designers is available through my
WWW Help
Page and HTML FAQ. Due to time constraints, I'm not longer able to answer individual questions about HTML.
You are welcome to redistribute the Bare Bones Guide to
HTML for any
noncommercial purpose, or to put a link to the Guide on your own page,
but please do not modify it in any way or place the files on your own server
without permission. If you wish to include the Guide in a commercial
project such as a book, please contact me; I usually grant permission upon
request.
I am not affiliated with Bare Bones Software, makers
of the excellent BBEdit text editor; the similarity of names is
coincidental.
