Basic HTML is pretty easy to learn. Everything is marked with tags, which look like
<tag>...</tag>, or if the tag doesn't enclose anything, <tag />. A table consists
of a <table> tag, which encloses <tr> (table row) tags, which enclose <td>
(table data) or <th> (table heading) tags, which enclose text. Hit View|View
Document Source (or whatever the equivalent is in your browser) to see the HTML
code for this page, which includes a table.
