HTML what?

Although there is web-authoring software available, there are multiple advantages to knowing html code. For example, it is good for web designers to be familiar with html code when something does not appear the way they want it to on a website. It is very frustrating when an element of a page does not do what you want it to, but if you are fluent in html code, you can go back into the code and decipher what is going on. A problem can be fixed much more quickly if you can go in and pinpoint an error in the code, rather than tinkering around on web-design software until the problem gets fixed by trial and error. Also, if you can read html code, then you can use things from other websites, such as a background color that you like. So although software such as Expression Web makes designing a website much easier, knowing html code can help you from getting stuck at any road blocks.
