Why HTML and CSS are important

After an developed understanding of English and writers, tech writers need to know technology. The most developed segment of technical writing is the emphasis in computers. A great way to distinguish yourself from other being technical writers is to learn HTML and CSS.

Elizabeth Castro, author of HTML for the World Wide Web with XHTML and CSS wrote, "Most technical writers will need to know about HTML or actually have to write in HTML at some point."

HTML is the formatting content on web pages. CSS is the design layout for multiple web pages.

Knowing HTML gives you the ability to work more efficiently with online writing. You can alter web pages and even build your own.

After you know HTML, CSS then becomes your new best friend. CSS is great because you only have to design something once and then you can apply it to multiple pages. Also, if you need to change or add something, you only have to make that change once.

It is important to know many tools, and HTML and CSS are two that should be on the top of your list.
