Welcome to my HTML heroes lens!

Ihave decided to write this lens to "show the love" for all of the lensmasters who have graciously shared their HTML knowledge. I came to squidoo barely knowing what HTML was- never mind how to use it. Everything I now know about it I learned here. Wondering what good HTML is? An example is the fact that you are reading this info in PURPLE!

So, this is my tribute to you, my HTML heroes! Go ahead. Take a bow, flap a tentacle, squirt some ink, or do whatever it is that squids do. Thank you!

What is HTML? Wikipedia knows... 

HTML, which stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists etc as well as for links, quotes, and other items. It allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. It is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of "tags" surrounded by angle brackets within the web page content. It can include or can load scripts in languages such as JavaScript which affect the behavior of HTML processors like Web browsers; and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define the appearance and layout of text and other material. The W3C, maintainer of both HTML and CSS standards, encourages the use of CSS over explicit presentational markup.HTML 4 ? Conformance: requirements and recommendations

Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) is the encoding scheme used to create and format a web document. A user need not be an expert programmer to make use of HTML for creating hypertext documents that can be put on the internet.

HTML is the language of communication that flies over the network. Although files are not necessarily required to be stored in HTML formatting, it is often found the most easy way to do so. Servers may store files in other formats, or in variations on HTML that include extra information of local interest only, and then generate HTML on the fly with each request. # ^ Wardrip-Fruin, Noah and Nick Montfort, ed (2003).
