What is HTML and what does Taco HTML Edit do?
HTML is a language that is used to design web pages that people can view in a web browser. Taco HTML Edit assists in the
process of creating an HTML document by including tools that generate and check HTML code and by making it easy to preview
an HTML document in a web browser. If you need to learn HTML, the
World Wide Web Consortium has a useful guide to help you get started.
How do I install Taco HTML Edit?

When I preview a document in a browser, I see strange characters. What should I do?
When you include certain non-English or punctuation characters in an HTML document, a special text-encoding must be used to save the document. By default, Taco HTML Edit uses an encoding called UTF-8 in these situations. However, in order for the browser to know how to interpret the document, you must tell it that the document uses this encoding. This can be done by including the following <meta>
tag at the beginning of your document within the head section:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
