When I started learning, my focus was on trying to unravel the mystery
of all those tags, and how to use them.
Learn good practices such as using tags that represent the structure
of the content. Examples:
<p> instead of <br><br>
<h1>Page Title</h1>
instead of <p><b><font size=6>Page Title</font></b></p>

Once he's written some code, validate it at http://validator.w3.org/ .
I first heard, or maybe I should say stopped ignoring mention, of
Cascading Style Sheets about 2 years ago and was surprised to learn
CSS has been the standard for the last 10 years. I would encourage
learning HTML alongside CSS to save from having to unlearn some of the
old methods.
