Average Flasher, New HTMLer

I really want to make a website, and so far have been using those premade ones, where you just pick a template, add pages, then write stuff, and add links to files...blah blah blah...I've already heard of HTML since I don't know when, but never learned it. I know a bunch of flash actionscripting, if that helps. ANYWAYS...
The main point of this was, could people teach me the basics of HTMLing? Not exactly codes, but...rules. Like AS rules would be:
-All things have to be on a certain "event", except frame script
-{ Mark the beginning of a "sentence", and } close a "sentence", containing the necessary data to make actions.
-"if" statements are used alot, or for buttons, "on" statements.
-(example)

Anyways, I hope you get what I mean...Like, please DO give me a bit of code, like code for text and links, or anything that helps. Pleeease, have mercy on me!

xhtml is a mark-up language and the structure is completely different to actionscript so what you are trying to ask for is not really relevant, follow this tutorial and it will give you the information you need to construct a page.

Once you understand xhtml try your hand at CSS which will enhance your webpages.

then you can progress onto javascript which is not to dissimilar to actionscript and will give your pages functionality.

You might also check out Expressions - it is a WYSIWYG editor that will help you write HTML code. Learning the code though is paramount in creating a website

Thanks! I want to start learning CSS soon too, because it'll give me more control of things, (no offense to Flash)...I'm starting a civilization type game...Thanks for the stuff! :)
