I'm very much a newcomer to HTML, but I found HotDog (and other HTML
editors, I'm sure) useful to *teach* me HTML code. I started out
highlighting and clicking on buttons to insert code, but soon found
it easier to just type the little buggers in myself. And HotDog's
help file is good, including the short tutorial.
