For Windows users, the biggest help you can have is the HTML Reference Library, a list of all of the tags currently supported by Netscape and Internet Explorer. Hats off to Stephen Le Hunte for compiling such a useful reference. My favorite HTML editor for Windows is HomeSite. It's not WYSIWYG, but it also doesn't add unnecessary tags.This is not freeware, but if looking at raw HTML doesn't make you go all squidgey, this is the tool to use. Minor Rant: I've looked at and used a lot of HTML editors, and finally gave up the struggle of the WYSIWYG editor, at least for now. It took more time to learn the interface of the editor than it takes to learn the simple HTML you need to write a page. Not only that, but WYSIWYG editors tend to add in proprietary tags that have no meaning in HTML (like NATURALSIZEFLAG, X-SAS), and some remove tags they don't understand. There is no perfect HTML editor: grab a copy of Laura Lemay's book, and save yourself some headaches by learning just a little bit of HTML. I know many Mac users are fond of Bare Bones Edit, which currently supports Java, multiple undo, and more.
MicroVision Development - has a wide range of web links in their guide as well as an HTML Authoring and Editing tool that can easily and quickly let you design your own web page. The WebExpress tool is available with a free trial period.

Originally, I was going to plop down a load o' links to HTML references on the web, but anymore, I just take a look at Microsoft or Netscape's description of tags they support, and, of course, use the ol' View Source command when I find an especially nifty site to sneak a peek at how they did it. I don't know, maybe the challenge of web building has gone. Back in the old days (oh, say about 24 months ago) when using a table to align images was an Amazing Thing, every HTML tag seemed like a revelation. Then again, maybe I've just checked too many thousands of AOL member pages for HTML errors to really care about the fine points any more. What the heck, here are pointers to a few HTML tutorials we bled out in the cause of Web Diner Inc.: Completely befuddled by HTML?
