HTML is the basis behind all web based documents. This is the language
that allows text and graphics to be formatted, giving the results you
see in front of you on every web site you visit.
Although there are many WYSIWYG HTML editors available, a good working
knowledge of the language itself is essential when producing a web site
that not only looks good, but works on all the major browsers (Internet
Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Opera, etc.), which do not act in the same
way to all HTML commands.
Even when we use technologies such as Active Server
Pages, the final code that gets sent over the internet to the visitor's
browser is HTML.
