Hi, I'm fairly new to this list and have been following discussions about
HTML with difficulty. I assume it's the language used to create Web pages.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Regardless, as I browse the Web I've been noticing a consistent pattern:
flashy graphics and crummy typography. For example, em dashes and curly
quotes seem to be unavailable. Or are the people creating Web pages
ignorant of their use? Is this a limitation of HTML, or other?
Any information you can provide will be welcome.
