The entire tutorial should take about 20 minutes to just read. It's short and to the point. I've broken it up into sections for your convenience. Basics covers the essentials, everything you'd need to turn your term paper into HTML code. Structures shows you how to do things like lists and tables.
Links explains hyper-linking and images.
Advanced covers topics which are a little more advanced. Finally, Forms covers the HTML side of using forms. If you'd like to practice your HTML or if you're curious how something will look, we also have a scratch pad available. There is a Page of Pages with links to people who've written pages using this tutorial, and I have written an example page which uses the important items from the tutorial. Finally, I also have a brief How To for some of the simpler browser stuff and a page dedicated to Debugging HTML, a Glossary of HTML and HTML-related terms and a library of backgrounds.
