I have spent the past few days learning HTML, on my own, so as to produce code for formatting eBooks. There is no one around I can go to for advice, so could someone here please have a look and make any relevant suggestions. The txt. file is here on my personal web space.

Feel free to copy and paste any or all of it to the forum for commenting. I didn't know if that was allowed, so I just provided the above link.

One question I have is the correct nesting order for alignment, font, and formatting attributes. For example, it seems less repetitious that a <p> should follow the font attribute when there are multiple pages of paragraphs with the same formatting. What is the standard?

I realize some of the tags are depreciated. I would like to sort that out next and put CSS in the header. Any advice along these lines would also be much appreciated.
