Hi Simon Some neat suggestions. (have added your email to the bottom of the page so I can get this sorted when I get a break in my teaching). As a wiki there is actually a chance for you to help me reorganise too !!!! I have got some content on the history of HTML in the XHTML section ( http://www.virtualmv.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTML/XHTML:What_is_HTML ) Thanks for the feedback Michael.
