I'd like a recommendation for a good tutorial or book that teaches standard
HTML. Thank you.

That one seems to be teaching XHTML?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

I'm not sreally sure what to learn, HTML or XHTML. I want my page to
be viewable in as many browsers as possible.

I'd recommend html 4.01 strict and downloading the spec from the w3c. It
(the spec) can be difficult to interpret at first and the benefits of an
outside tutorial as you seek are inarguable. However, once you "get your
feet wet", the spec will be more understandable and is the fianl reference
in any case.

Who wagged its tail spritely.
But it walked by the harvestor
And now is shorter slightly.

I only know _one_ book that I regard as acceptable in this respect,
and no web sites.
"Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML", O'Reilly

(By this I mean that it's a tutorial, it's well written, it has an
appropriate attitude to HTML 4.01 Strict vs. 3.2, Transitional or
XHTML, and it teaches good coding style)

Followed by Lie & Bos' "Cascading Style Sheets" book (CSS tutorial and
on-going reference)

Also of course, the W3C site for the "horse's mouth" version of the
HTML recommendation and DTD.

Simply substitute the HTML 4.01 Strict doctype and don't use those
trailing slashes ( /> ) on closing elements. There isn't much else that
is different. Otherwise, htmldog is a quite good tutorial.
