AlbakiReads Editorial

A broad reference to HTML, XHTML, CSS, and early HTML5

Published during the transition toward HTML5, this fifth edition organizes a wide span of web-markup and styling material in one reference volume. It addresses transitional HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, HTML5, CSS 1 and CSS 2.1, alongside proprietary tags and emerging CSS3 properties supported at the time. Annotated markup and style examples accompany the technical coverage, while appendixes gather practical syntax references for character entities, fonts, colors, and URLs. Its scope also includes document type definitions (DTDs) and an open-standards-oriented approach to building web pages. Because the material reflects the browser support and standards landscape described for this 2010 edition, it is best understood as a period-specific technical reference.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Web developers seeking a single-volume reference for HTML, XHTML, and CSS
  • Readers working with legacy HTML 4.01 or XHTML markup
  • Developers interested in the early transition to HTML5 and CSS3
