The key to creating documents on the proliferating World Wide Web is the powerful HyperText Markup Language 3 (HTML 3). The key to learning that language is this comprehensive, hands-on guide.

Through discussions, charts and tables, and a wealth of examples and illustrations, HTML Plus! provides a solid grounding in the "how tos" of HTML -- and the underlying "whys." Students get an in-depth perspective on the features and techniques of basic HTML and the emerging HTML 3 standard, from handling typographic elements and images to building style sheets and multilingual documents. A variety of projects allows readers to practice applying the techniques. The author also includes objectives, summaries, and numerous HTML code examples to reinforce learning.

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Presents a comprehensive look at all aspects of HTML, using a project-based, hands-on approach

• Uses ample examples, illustrations, charts, and tables that go beyond the "cookbook" approach often seen in texts on HTML

• Includes chapters dedicated to Java, VRML, Adobe-Acrobat, and SGML
