HTML Entire**
HTML is the language of the Web. (HTTP is the protocol of the Web.)
At the end of the first day of this short course, I realized that I had only treated HTML in a piecemeal way. In thinking of a name for this page, I settled on "entire" as a metaphor for everything pertaining to HTML. As with many things, particularly something as central to the Web as HTML, a large number of excellent references are bound to be available there. No point in my doing anything along those lines beyond linking to a few of them.
** "In the early 1700's the patrons of London bars were ordering a mixture called alternatively either "three threads", or "entire." Despite misconceptions, the term 'three threads' did not refer to the threads on the tap (there were none) it was merely a case of using the vernacular in which threads equalled thirds. The next popular name came from the fact that it was from three separate kegs. In those days the ends (butts) of the kegs faced the patrons and they began calling it a draw of entire butt, meaning it was from all three taps." --Gregg Smith, RealBeer.com
