                      GUIDES TO WRITING HTML DOCUMENTS

   These guides are about writing style, which HTML constructs to use
   when, when to divide up documents into multiple parts, etc. Also see
   information on the HTML language itself, learning HTML, editors, and
   converters.

   HTML Style Sheets let authors specify preferences for aspects of
   presentation. These are not about writing style but presentation
   style.
