It looks pretty good. If you don't mind me asking, what is the timeline for completing it? Are you going to update the whole guide?

EDIT: I noticed that you have a print stylesheet for the guide. One thing that I would recommend you do is not display the top links when printing the page. I don't know why, but the printed page just looks better without them.

Seems a complete overhaul, can't wait! This is, by far, the best tutorial out there for z80 assembly. CoBB's guide is excellent if a bit... assuming I suppose? What I'm trying to say is that I understood his much better after learning from yours.

Aww... I already printed half of your old one.

oh well, more printing then. Just have to figure out how to get this to openin IE.

I just find it odd that my comp doesn't know how to open it.

Liazon: It won't open in IE, because IE can't render true XHTML. ;)

Sigma: The charset is undefined, and lang="en" needs to be removed. Also, use <em> instead of <i>.

Other than that, awesome.

The old one was still really helpful though.

in that case, I'm never going to see it. parents probably won't let me download any of those.

edit: the knowledge in version 3 is not different from version 2 right? it's just presented differently?

You are downright kidding me. :x

You need to explain to your folks that keeping and using IE is a very real threat to your computer, and that most alternative browsers work better, have more features, and are simply better-looking.

Internet Explorer is dangerous

HAHA!!! wow this is awesome sigma!!

I'll start printing this one too when you're done making it.

Do you think somewhere in there you will explain how the routines you donated to API work? or did you already do that in version 2 and I just haven't read it when I knew what I was doing in z80?

Awesome job! This will surely be great...

I did a W3C validation and it seems like there's a bunch of stuff I didn't know about XHTML.

A lot of the work is moving text around and doing lots of repetitive conversions from HTML 4 to XHTML. Even with Vim, it can be a real drain and I can only handle so much at once.

I have a print stylesheet that gets rid of all the stuff that isn't meaningful outside of a browser, but it is wildly out of sync with the screen one, which is why I didn't upload it. It's also hard to tell what's a bug in Firefox's rendering and what's a deficiency in Ghostscript.

ISO-8859-1 is undefined? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1#ISO-8859-1

<em> is used when I mean "emphasis", <i> is used when I mean "italics (without any logical meaning)".

Odd that I missed that... Also odd is the fact that the validator did the same. :P

Then, that purpose should be reserved for the stylesheet. The idea
behind XHTML is the separation between content and presentation.

When you create the borders around the text and other things on the page, you sometimes use a pixel value and sometimes thin or medium. Is there a reason for this decision? It seems like using the pixel value makes more sense.

Probably just an oversight.

Those are optional, and mainly for readability/typeset purposes. Some authors prefer to use them.
