Designing for the web ought to mean making HTML and CSS (2019) (signalvnoise.com)
During the dotcom boom back in the late 90s, I did a bunch of Photoshop-cut jobs. You know, where a designer throws a PSD file over the wall to an HTML monkey to slice and dice. It was miserable.

Relatively New Things You Should Know about HTML Heading into 2025 (frontendmasters.com)
Not all of this is like absolutely brand spanking new just-dropped-in-2024 stuff. Some of it is, but generally it’s relatively new stuff that’s all pretty great. I’m pointing things out that I think are really worth knowing about. It’s possible you haven’t kept up too much with HTML developments as it tends to, rightfully, move a lot slower than CSS or JavaScript.

A Racket alternative to HTML Tidy (joeldueck.com)
If you use Racket to generate web pages, you should use this package to make your HTML both readable and correct. Why go to the trouble of designing clean, semantic markup if you’re just going to slap it all on one line that scrolls horizontally forever?

HTML Is a Programming Language. Fight Me (wired.com)
HTML is deceptive. It looks easy. And easy HTML is easy. With a few tags you can write your name on a webpage, make it bigger or smaller, add “is awesome” in bold or italics, and even—for those of us who came of age in better times—make it blink or scroll across the screen.

My favourite colour is Chuck Norris red (htmhell.dev)
Setting the colour of text on a webpage is usually a simple affair involving whipping it out the good ol' CSS color property. But this is HTMHell, dammit. None of that wishy-washy CSS nonsense here. No siree. We use HTML as the good lord intended and shalln't stray into the sins of cascading sheets lest we end up some non-HTML variant of hell where they define page structure with JavaScript vars.
