Amen!
I don't use books on HTML. Usually all I need is
http://www.selfhtml.org/ as a reference. (Sorry only deutsch and
fran?aise.)
If you do more then a few static pages you definitely want some form of
template engine. Most of the time this will result in some CMS (Content
Management System) like typo3, Joomla, Drupal, ... You can do it also
with cvs, m4, sed / awk, make, ... or a XML processor, where you write
XML files containing just the content and the XML processor generates
(static) HTML... (AFAIK the NetBSD web site is generated this way.)
HTML is human writable. But you need a lot of discipline keeping your
pages straight. A computer can automate this for you...
