Look at it this way: If you learn Spider without knowing any HTML, you
can generate pages, but will be in a bind if you have to do something
Spider doesn't support, or have to fix any mistakes Spider makes.
If, on the other hand, you learn how to do HTML "by hand" you can still
use something like Spider (or any of a gazillion other HTML editors and
"assistants") to make your job easier, but will still have the skills
necessary to do any last-minute tweaking... or for that matter, to do
any on-site HTML work for someone who DOESN'T have Spider.
Your friend and mine,
Matt
