SUPPORT : Resources : HTML Resources
In addition to the list contained in the BBEdit user manual, we offer the following set of HTML references and other web-authoring resources. This list is by no means complete, but is rather intended to emphasize those sources that either we ourselves, or BBEdit customers, have found useful.
Note: Mention on this page does not constitute an endorsement by Bare Bones Software, nor does it imply that we have reviewed the listed references for accuracy or suitability for your needs.

provides one of the most readable overviews to HTML 3.2, HTML
4.0 and Cascading Style Sheets that we have ever found.
