What Gary is saying is that the days of manually producing HTML-tagged files
are long gone. There are many editors available that will produce HTML-tagged
files. One example: the Internet Assistant for Word add-on will take your MS
Word document and produce an HTML-tagged document by simply doing a "save as"
and specifying "HTML document."
Right now, HTML is the standard for Web publishing. Are there viable
alternatives to HTML? For the next couple of years, it's not likely. Down the
road, I predict that we will be using voice-driven/activated technology. Even
so, HTML may continue to be the underlying markup language standard.
