...for HTML that is more of a cross reference that reads like this:

Maybe I'm missing something, but the O'Reilly guide such as the one that comes with Dreamweaver is not formatted like this. You already have to know something about the tag you're looking for before you look for it in the guide, ironically.
This is usually not helpful.
Does anyone know of such a guide?

...if, in your first link, the description of the tag's function was alphabetized,
with the actual tag format coming AFTER, not before, that would be optimal.
Most of the time, one can't discern a tag's function simply by how it reads.
Maybe this guide you showed me IS arranged like this, somewhere on the site.
I saw how it is arranged by function, but one would have to follow this
function list each time to find what one wants. That would become very tiring.
However, this is the most helpful list I've seen thus far. Is it arranged somewhere on the
site in the manner described previously?
 
How about this one instead? It takes you through the entire set from top down, including nesting, etc.

HTML Commands

Since most HTML docs begin with a < HTML > tag, it's the first one (but, in reality, it's the second one b/c of < ! -- ... -- >...

If I get what you're saying then this is what you were looking for...
 
Now that one seems to allow more ease
of finding what you need. It alphabetizes the GENERAL
parts of an HTML doc, then, within each part, becomesmore
specific, listing tags which create more precise elements within
each category. Thanks.
