W3schools HTML & CSS tutorials, HTML Cheatsheet
I have used HTML before, but not for years. The HTML Cheatsheet is a helpful quick reminder.
I've used the W3schools pages before. They are really good for either a quick introduction (that you can read more on when you are done if you want the big picture) or, as they are for me now, a refresher. They are perfect for that because they are more than a list of commands, but they do not take long at all, and they give you quick feedback. Good stuff.
Beyond HTML
This article reminds me of the idea behind CSS -- separation of format and content. There are other reasons for what the authors did, like security, but that separation seems to be the most important. This is interesting because the standards (like HTML) designed for the Internet were originally, with great forsight perhaps, intended to enforce that separation. Over time, it became more difficult to keep the format and content apart from each other, and recently great efforts have been made (and they have succeeded, I think) to regain the separation of format and content (like CSS).
I fount the article rather dry, but it is a good example of efforts made along these lines in the real world, so it is worth reading.

That is also a good point that libraries have existed for a long time. Computers are the newcomer -- maybe they should figure out how things are supposed to work. – I am assuming that you mean people should figure out how to make libraries should work, and I am also assuming you mean the people that we work with.
