In this completely revised and updated pocket reference, Jennifer Niederst, the author of the best-selling Web Design in a Nutshell , delivers a complete guide to every HTML tag. As with O'Reilly's other pocket references, this handy book offers the bare essentials in a small, concise format that you can carry anywhere for quick reference. This guide will literally fit into your back pocket.Each entry in the book is devoted to the description of a single HTML tag, its standard usage, information on the tag's attributes, browser support (for Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Opera), and support for WebTV. Niederst puts the tags in context, indicating which ones are grouped together. She also offers bare-bones examples of how standard web page elements are constructed.All the tag-by-tag descriptions in this new edition have been brought up to date with the current HTML specification (4.01), and the book includes useful charts of character entities and decimal-to-hexadecimal conversions.The HTML Pocket Reference, second edition is an indispensable reference for any serious web designer, author, or programmer.

I like this documentation

This is an exhaustive and definitive documentation for HTML5 and I really like it. Every element and attribute is listed, defined and there are also examples of them.

This is the third most used book in my library.

The second most used book is the CSS pocket reference, and the first is one I made myself - a notebook where I keep all the niggly things I'm CONSTANTLY having to look up; things like the ascii code for é, and the difference between "display:none" and "visibility:hidden" (a CSS reference). You can't publish a book like that.

The HTML pocket reference goes with me on work trips, because the big version is just too big.

With the proliferation of smartphones, I can't imagine any 'Pocket Reference' being indispensable. This one contains some good information, but nothing you can't find online or in a more comprehensive book.

A good reference and book to skim through for HTML5.
