Chapter 1: Introduction

The internet has come a long way. In fact, even if you're only a few months past 10 years old, you've seen how the Internet and the WWW is increasingly affecting nearly every aspect of our lives. Indeed, it has been a fast change and one that affects most of us either personally, professionally or both. One of the results has been the need for Web publishing skills for many knowledge workers, educators and professionals. Hobbyists and parents can benefit as well from knowing a little something about Web publishing.

Chapter 2: The Fundamentals of Web Publishing

The internet has quickly become so completely into our lives that there's no assessing the full nature of its value. Along with email and other technologies, the Web is a huge part of the Internet phenomenon.

Chapter 3: A Short-Course in Web Design

Chapter 1, "The Fundamentals of Web Publishing," hinted at some of the issues we'll discuss in this chapter, particularly style sheets and their role in HTML markup. There is a tug-of-war in the world of Web design, where two different approaches - a visual approach and an organisational approach - have clashed with earlier HTML specifications.

This is just a second paragraph to practice some of the more interesting CSS rules such as showing the difference between a descendant, direct descendant, and adajacent selectors. I'll be adding yet another paragraph after this which which will be used for the nth-* selectors.

As promised here's the third paragraph for use with the nth-* selectors. Maybe I should add a final one to allow that the nth-* and nth-last-* selectors work in opposite directions and we need to show how the position value differs between them?

It kept me awake all night so here's that final paragraph. With an odd number of paragraphs the position difference between the two is not obvious so I've added a final paragraph to allow for this.
