Quick Reference

Hi,

I need a quick reference which explains html without clutter
What it is, how it works. No history lessons no extensive list of tags no javascript. Something that's easy to digest for someone who has never source coded but needs to.

any quick links?

two obvious examples, but still kind of technical
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Html

http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/html/

http://www.htmldog.com/guides/htmlbeginner/ is pretty clear, simple to follow and tries to teach things the "right" way :)
