Exactly what it says, a quick reference.  Useful but only limited detail.

The Bare Bones Guide to HTML

Wish I had come across this sooner.  A must visit.  Go to the "Plain Text" version, print it out, and keep it near.  Highly recommended.

Net Tips for Writers and Designers

Design tips from a typographer's point of view.  Excellent discussion on the use of background colors and the creation of white spacing.

World Wide Web Consortium

The official specifications. The current W3C Recommendation for HTML is HTML 4.0.

HTML VALIDATION SERVICES

Want to find out how good your HTML coding is? Then by all means try out either Weblint or W3C HTML Validation Service.   I guarantee that besides finding errors that can cause problems, you'll learn a lot about proper HTML coding trying to get your page(s) to pass through error-free.  Both of these services have easy to use instructions and will improve the quality and accuracy of your HTML coding.

The HTML Writers Guild

The HTML Writers Guild is a non-profit educational corporation with the goal of helping its members improve their skills in the craft of web design through cooperation and sharing of experience. The HWG participates actively in shaping the future of the web, and is a member organization of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
