Everyone is a snob about something and I think Iām a line-height snob.
Don't use 1.5 as a blanket default. Use your eyes.
I updated HTML for People with some small but important improvements. I added a bit more explanation and resources around folder creation and relative URLs.
A lot of people inquired about a downloadable version. At some point Iād love to make a nice PDF. But for now Iāve added a printable version (see link in footer) thatās got everything on one page. You can save that to PDF.
Many thanks to everyone who has given feedback, suggested corrections, or filed issues!

This HTML for People announcement has 1,999 boosts. š
I remember it being a breath of fresh air to learn HTML and write it myself compared to wrestling with the free web authoring tools I had at the time.
I found this page on a freeware gaming site I used to run. This post in 2005 was an update where I had moved from no-code web software to writing HTML directly.
Text: I have redesigned the site. This time using straight HTML! Why? I was tired of using the authoring software I had because it made updating a hassle. I'm eliminating the "middle-man," so to speak. It's helping me learn HTML by doing it this way. Plus, the site probably loads a lot faster. So it works out for all of us in the end!
This track is so beautiful to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dIUFC6o0eo

If it wasnāt for blogs, I wouldnāt know anything.
Iām primarily a Firefox user so Iām only now noticing that my code samples in HTML for People werenāt being syntax highlighted properly in Chrome. Thatās now fixed.
Oopsie.
Has anyone compiled a list of HTML web components?
Iām absolutely blown away by the response HTML for People has received so far. Wow. I really appreciate the kind words, feedback, and bug reports!
Iām getting tons of boosts and replies right now and am having trouble keeping up. Just wanted to say two things real quick:
1. THANK YOU! People are being so nice and supportive and I really appreciate it.
2. I had some DNS issues going on there for a minute but I now have a temporary fix in place.
The wait is over. HTML for People is OUT NOW!
I feel strongly that anyone should be able to make a website with HTML if they want. This web book will teach you how to do just that. It doesnāt require any previous experience making websites or coding. I will cover everything you need to know to get started in an approachable and friendly way.
And itās free for all. š
Iāve been eschewing frontend build steps on side projects lately and wonder if anyone is doing that āat scale,ā to use a buzzword. But I guess what I mean is are there people running vanilla on any medium-to-large web applications? I feel like maybe there are, but they just don't blog.
Anyway, if youāre reading this and that sounds like you, I'd love to know how it's going and whether thereās anything from āmodern toolchainsā that you miss.
