HTML

Hi /tech/, I would like to find the most efficient way to learn HTML.  What would you suggest?  Has anyone else learned it on their own?

Best way is just to start picking at it right away. It's not really too complicated. I assume you mean coding HTML and not XHTML which has slightly different syntax rules and document declaration.

This is a good basic place to start http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/

And yes, I learned it mostly on my own, just hand coding my own Web pages. I cannot stand WYSIWYG editors at all.
