Try "Yahoo" through Mosaic or Netscape. They've got a couple HTML
primers--and I think they have the HTML-Asst. If you get a list of the
HTML codes, you can also use your word processors search and replace
function. I actually found this a quicker way to work than using the
HTML editor. For example, replace all hard returns with </p>[HRT]<p>.
This gives you the end paragraph marking, a hard return for ease of
reading, and the beginning paragraph code. When you save the document to
ascii, it will delete the HRT code. There's probably a quicker way of
doing this, but it worked for me.
