Book News Annotation:
This text introduces beginners to HTML, CSS, and XHTML, scripting
languages for writing Web pages. Since HTML and XHTML share the same
vocabulary but have slightly different syntax, the author has chosen
to treat the two together beginning with syntax and later discussing
the shared vocabulary using the stricter XHTML syntax. Major
treatment of CSS is reserved until HTML and XHTML have been properly
introduced. The format of the text incorporates numerous screenshots
and other visual elements.
