Once upon a time HTML had been a markup language to be written by
people  to express semantics and formatting, like authors do with
Latex. Today, HTML is used  more  like  a  programming  language,
which  only  programmers  use  below  the surface. HTML strangely
developed from an easy to write and read  markup  helper  into  a
technical  specification  language  for website construction. The
change concerned more the typical than the possible usecases.

Well, today, I just wrote some simple HTML  pages  from  scratch.
How  long haven't I've done thi! This was when I realized how the
common view on HTML had changed.

One should open one's editor with an empty file  and  then  write
the  HTML code right into it, not copying stuff nor looking up in
references. This will give a good experience of what was lost  on
the way to the modern web.
