[beginner] searching a good HTML tutorial

Hello,

I'm searching a good tutorial to learn HTML / XHTML.
Instead of searching in Google and wasting time reading many, can you please
advise me ?

Thanks,

Al

This is quite difficult. There are a great many tutorials around, but
most aren't very good. The hard part is avoiding the bad ones!

I like books, so I like "Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML" from
O'Reilly

It's the best tutorial I know, and it teaches good "style" as well
(this is very rare).

I also like Lie & Bos' "Cascading Style Sheets"

This is a good CSS tutorial, accessible to HTML beginners too, and
remains a useful desktop reference for CSS afterwards.

For web sites, is the best I've seen, even though
it's nothing like the detail of the books.

is also essential, as it's the
"horse's mouth" for the specification. Not easy reading though!

Avoid W3Schools.

Thank you for your answers. I forgot to mention I needed an online resource.
I knew W3Schools already, why do you advise to avoid it ?
HTML dog seems to be what I was searching for.

Poorly written, too little detail to be useful. Much of it narrowly
avoids being downright "wrong" but is still vague, wooly or misleading.
