I always use the specs.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/
for HTML.
It's not a how-to but with basic how-to knowledge already they work
for me. If you use the validator then the specs are the perfect
accompaniment.
(If I understood your question correctly?)
Some people think the specs are hard to read. But it just takes
getting familiar with W3C-englisch.
I used to print them out and read them at my leisure or while eating soup.
Stick them in a 3 ring binder or download to disk.
Knowing how to code HTML 4.01 correctly makes it lot easier to write
XHTML if you need to. It also helps for trouble-shooting CSS.
