Introduction
to HTML - Complete List of HTML tags
This list is
contributed by, and the latest version of this document is available
at http://werbach.com/barebones/,
where you will also find the text version, translations, and background
materials.
The Bare Bones
Guide to HTML lists all the tags that current browsers are likely
to recognize. I have included all the elements in the official HTML
4.0 recommendation with common attributes, as well as Netscape and
Microsoft extensions. This document is a quick reference, not a
complete specification; for official information about HTML and
its development, see the World Wide Web Consortium site at http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/.
