Introduction

Have you been searching all over the net for a good quick reference guide for HTML?  Search no longer, you have arrived!  And now the new and improved version 1.1!

When I was beginning to learn a bit about HTML, I always wondered why I could not find a straight forward list of tags and what they did.  The books always seemed to go to long and the online stuff always seemed to be hard to follow.  So, I decided to put something together that fills that niche.  Yes, it does contain a mixture of tags from different levels of HTML standards and not necessarily all the tags that have been introduced.  I'll leave it up to you to decide which you will and will not use according to your personal preferences.  There are many new improvements to this version of the guide, be sure to the version history on the "Contact Us" page for those updates!

This is a document that you can contribute to.  If you see any part that could use some correction, improvement or otherwise needs help, please contact me using the information included in this document.  I am sure their are mistakes, so if you could help me out by finding them and letting me know, that would be a big help!  If I ever find the time, there will also be an HTML primer available much like this guide.
