On a generic level I find this SGML intro to be a very instructive
start...

...what you learn from there is easily adapted for HTML DTD subsets too.
Making HTML things look good in Moz (plus Opera and MacIE5) is all about
using HTML4.01 strict markup plus correct CSS.
For Moz and MacIE5 you also need to include a correctly stated
<!DOCTYPE... declaration in your doc instance, preferably of W3C style.
To cover all eventualities, "dot all your i's and cross all your t's" by
including both the FPI and the SYSTEM ID in that declaration.
Making things "look good" in other browsers?
Well that's the $10k question :)
