Why learn HTML?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the basic language of the Web. A basic knowledge of HTML lets you create simple Web pages without any special software. Microsoft® Notepad is a very basic word processor that is included with all versions of Windows.

The best reason for most people is to be able to get the most out of their Web authoring software. When you use one of the editors available -- such as Dreamweaver® -- a big part of what the editor does is to create HTML. Even the best of these is not perfect. An understanding of some simple HTML commands -- known as "tags" -- gives you the ability to fix those parts of your page that the editor did not create correctly.
