[ILUG] [Q] HTML4 + CSS2 (+ wml(1) ?) on-line tutorial?

[ILUG] [Q] HTML4 + CSS2 (+ wml(1) ?) on-line tutorial?

 does anyone happen to know of a decent on-line (or, preferably,
 downloadable) tutorial about producing web pages (or documents)
 targeted at HMTL4.x _plus_ CSS2.y ?  (and if it also discussed
 using a front-end --- wml(1) is the one I'm playing with at the
 moment --- that be nice.)

 I want to move away from using a mixture of tables and physical
 controls (e.g., <I>) to logical formatting (for _static_ pages).
 CSS (esp. 2.y) gives me the logical formatting, and `wml' makes
 it less painful to write the HTML, but at the moment I am still
 very much at sea on how to actually _do_ things, or (rather more
 importantly) _why_ something is / isn't the best way of doing
 something.  (I also tend to think in terms of LaTeX and troff(1),
 both of which are still my documentation engines of choice, but
 which perhaps doesn't help?)

 please note I am not looking for a GUI (e.g., bluefish, the OOo
 web thingie, asWedit(?), Qanta Plus, (others?)) --- I've played
 with all those listed and decided I very prefer a real editor.
 what I want is, at the ‘raw’ HTML+CSS level, a manual(+examples)
 on formating.

 I did a brief search using Google™ (brief 'cuz I starting having
 e-mail problems...), and didn't spot anything.  any pointers or
 suggestions?

cheers!

p.s.  I am well aware of reports Internet Exploder doesn't handle
     CSS2 very well.  I don't care (too much --- I do concur with
     “viewable with any browser” campaign).
