you could probably get away with knowing nothing but the absolute basics when using a WYSIWYG editor (What You See Is What You Get). But if you are anything like me, you'll want the capabilities of personalizing your web page to look exactly the way you want it to. HTML is the way to do it.

Use the resources already available to learn more. The library is an excellent start. (Some books that may be helpful are listed here.) Checking out the source code for the pages that you personally enjoy spending time will also help you to understand the intricacies that you would never pick up from just reading a book.
