REVIEW: HTML Manual of Style by Larry Aronson, Ziff-Davis Press 1994
ISBN: 1-56276-300-8 132 pages paperbound $19.95 USA $27.95 Canada
This book is essential if you want to master the Hypertext Markup Language
known more familiarly as HTML. What is HTML you may ask? Its an easy-to-
use language that is used by anyone who wants to make information available
to Internet users through a World Wide Web "Home Page".
The book is primarily for those who are already exploring the Web with
programs such as Lynx and "browsers" like Mosaic and I feel safe in stating
that it is not for "newbies". But it will give the advanced user a clear
and concise reference to the HTML language, its syntax, formatting tags,
links and input forms. In addition, author Aronson gives us tips on
writing HTML documents from scratch, how links work and how to convert
existing documents to HTML. Also, there are several HTML examples,
a HTML quick reference section, some information on HTML+ (versions
beyond the Level 2 specification) and Netscape extentions to HTML.
Finally, there are many Net resources and "where to get" listings to
HTML guides and references, Web browser programs (for free!!) and
HTML conversion tools. Its all packed into 132 pages. This is a
very useful and informative reference work for any serious Net user!
