%T   "HTML Sourcebook"
 
For those who are serious about creating World Wide Web pages and
presentations, this is a very thorough reference.
 
Starting with a lesson in HTML (HyperText Markup Language) it covers elements
right up to multimedia and forms.  Anchors are more fully explained than in the
previous edition.  Chapters deal with Universal Resource Locators (URLs); the
Common Gateway Interface (CGI); tools, editors and document translators;
browsers; servers; and examples.  The material is technical and detailed, right
down to mention of security considerations on clients.
 
The pace and technical level may not be suitable for beginners, who may want to
look at Lemay's "Teach Yourself Web Publishing With HTML" (cf. BKWPHTML.RVW). 
The organization of the reference chapters (now four and five) still takes some
getting used to.  The anchor element is included with "List Elements", and
while the "anchor" entry in the index has been fixed, the index itself is a bit
of a mess.
