Introduction to HTML

Welcome to ZipLink's look at the HyperText Markup Language (HTML). The goal is to try to give a solid grounding in HTML and how to use it to publish your own information on the World Wide Web. To do this, we'll briefly examine the underpinnings of the Web and HTML, then give an overview of the main features of HTML as well as related content.
