6 Who’s
afraid of
HTML?
HTML – random definitions
What does HTML stand for? Depends on your viewpoint, but
perhaps it should be one of the following?
Horrify Those Miserable Losers – for the online snob who
views the novice with disdain.
Help! Too Much Logic – for the said novice who views all things
IT with fear and suspicion.
Hunt The Mother Lode – for the anorak who expects too
much.
Hah! The Madcap Laughs – for the online anarchists who think
all the above have missed the point.
HTML certainly puts up the barriers and defines your position.
Although most people can tell you what it stands for – Hyper Text
Markup Language – they have difficulty describing what it
does.
There are two schools of thought about HTML, which are best
summed up in the following quotes:
Don’t you worry about it at all – with web authoring software
. . . you don’t even have to think about it. 1
