Field notes
The guide separates the Internet's physical network connections from the Web's links between resources, then follows a short timeline from Nelson's 1965 use of “hypertext” through HTML 2.0 in 1995. Six field guides cover anchor markup, URL parts, link rot, accessible link text, and safer navigation. A reference shelf points readers to CERN, W3C, MDN, and the Computer History Museum.
