HTML Unleashed is an exhaustive resource devoted to the
single most important language used in web development. The book
provides complete reference and guide to HTML 4.0 syntax and usage,
discusses integrating HTML with other technologies like Java and
ActiveX, and even attempts to predict developments in the HTML
language and implementation. Here you can read chapters
by one of the book's authors, Dmitry Kirsanov.
SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) is a formal system
designed for building text markup languages, HTML being one of them.
Learn the foundations of SGML to see how understanding SGML ideology
and design principles may aid you in learning and applying HTML.
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a simple and compact subset of
SGML designed specifically for use on the Internet in the way that
HTML is currently used. This new project of W3C is gaining momentum
at a surprising rate, and everybody seriously concerned with HTML
may want to check it out.
This chapter discusses the ways
to overcome the pronounced Western bias in HTML and to make it more
usable in the worldwide multilingual environment. You'll learn
about the use of character encoding standards, about the real-world
problems of serving international web content, and about the new
internationalization provisions of HTML 4.0.
