Re: HTML 5 Tutorials and authoring

Those templates look good for tutorials on HTML. I would like to
combine these tutorials on the structure and syntax of HTML with
tutorials on producing documents (using HTML)... based on the idea
someone might think "I need italics" and rather than have them find
the italics element, they should find a tutorial on all the different
semantic options that relate to italics. A tutorial that is more like
a style guide for documents than a tutorial on the various HTML
elements (I think both are complementary).

Hard to explain, so I've done a quick mockup (and I do mean quick, it
is very messy) for italics (borrowing examples from Wikipedia) here:
http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/Guide/italics

Feel free to challenge, laugh at or deride my suggestions of which
elements are appropriate to the various cases, although I'm quite fond
of <cite class="ship"> for ship names myself! ;)

cheers
Ben
