HTML for Translators

This guide demonstrates how to convert a piece of writing for online publication. For a quick (if partial) solution, there are tips on getting the best word processor to HTML conversion. For those who would rather have full control of their documents, there are details on how to hand-code the structural elements commonly found in a story or an essay.

Note: this is not a general HTML tutorial. It does not cover many elements that would be used if building an entire Web site. It is aimed at online writers who want to ensure proper display for their work on archive sites.
