Basic HTML for Complex People
Most of us don’t need to know HTML, but we all write on the web, so we’re using HTML whether we understand it or not. Knowing a few simple tricks will save you from some common frustrations and help you organize your online writing more clearly.
The workshop should be a painless way to learn a little bit more about what your text editor is doing “under the hood.”
This guide will give you a simplified look at only the HTML tags, styles, and syntax that you can do in a visual text editor (or “WYSIWYG” editor) like the ones in webmail, blogs, and LMSes. It’s not intended to be a complete education in HTML, but rather a commonsense guide for everyday users who want to get more out of their online writing.
