Episode description

This week we get deep into the weeds of HTML. What tags do we use (and are they the same as the tags we should use)? And who are we wring our markup for? Just browsers, surely?! But what about search-engine crawlers and accessibility tools?

Mentioned in this episode:

  • Lynx, the terminal-based web browser
