on Learn to Program HTML in 21 Minutes
The point about a consistent user interface is very important. As a university student I have come into contact with WebCT Vista. This program is a web based program that is supposed to enable students and teachers to interact and to enable students to find information (at least I think that is what it is meant to do). It is a god awful program that uses Java and Javascript and other nasties, breaks the user interface of the web browser (for example the back button) and is not internally consistent. An example of an internal inconsistency (regarding the user interface), there are two separate home buttons that are not distinguishable , one that links to the students home on WebCT Vista, and one to the home of the subject. I hate the program and have only talked to one person who likes it. Rather they tolerate it 'cause they are blind and have been taught to use it.

I'm interested in marking-up existing HTML documents for my own use for my research.--highlight, add comment, etc. I can't afford acrobat, and have also tried to save the page as a pdf and import to word. Any suggestions?
