HTML: The Good Parts
summary
Examines concrete HTML practices: shows a conference schedule mistakenly built from 270 divs instead of a table, demonstrates that browsers parse HTML progressively so sending content-first speeds rendering, and shows that using the main tag lets Safari Reader extract articles properly. Covers the HTML Living Standard and validator tooling (validator API, Docker, GitHub Action examples), recommends using inputmode instead of misused input types, and links to an adapt-table article and working slide site.
