Title: The book I use
Product review: I wanted an HTML handbook, not a textbook, something to give me the format and options for each command. This is it.The organization couldn't be clearer: the bulk of the book is the complete list of HTML directives, in alphabetical order. It also includes indices of names for special characters and colors. There's a lot of compatibility information, too, regarding both HTML versions and browser incompatibilities.The "Examples" section is weak, and seems to assume a knowledge of SGML beyond what HTML really requires. It's also vague about specifics of style directives, and the relationship of HTML to CSS or embedded scripts. Other books fill those gaps, though. This book works as just one in a more complete library for web-page writers, and that's just fine.There are better books to learn from, but this is the best I've seen for supporting experienced HTML users.
