SelfHTML 8.0 Is Out

Posted by timothy on from the aber-selbstverstandlich dept.

XRayX writes: "Today the new version 8.0 of the famous German HTML, CSS, CGI Tutorial SelfHTML was released. German speaking can download it here. New in this Version is the section for XML-Programming. I don't know what's up with all the non Germans, but SelfHTML is the Guide to Web-Design/Programming and included in the most Linux Distros (Version 7)." This is a really well-put-together guide, perhaps the most complete html tutorial I've seen online. The language barrier probably keeps it from being useful to most people -- translation engines like babelfish aren't all that good at rendering intelligible directions. Translating this to English would be a killer project, but the result would be hugely popular.

    Does anybody have a link to where the version 7 edition of this in english might be located? I have tried to find the documentation on redhat 7.2, and I am not finding it.

      There is no English SelfHTML, except from a babelfish translation. It is included in the main distributions anyway, cause it is a really good (the best) guide.

    it's babelfish.altavista.com, not babelfish.altavist.com. The last link sends you to http://www.megago.com/l/, a ugly typo portal.

      I really wish someone would set up babelfish.av.com - hell, b.av.com would be nice.
