How/where can I learn basic HTML (the current version) and basic CSS?

[S]

It seems that all of the HTML tutorials out there only teach old school HTML (from the 1990s). From what I've heard, some of the tags from old HTML will not work with the current/upcoming version of HTML.

So where can I learn an updated version of HTML?
I would also like to learn CSS.

HTML has always been (generally) the same. I learnt HTML many years ago and the same codes still work for me.

The best way to learn is to dissect other people's codes and play around with them until you figure out what everything does.

I'm not sure how you're searching for tutorials, but a simple "learn HTML" search in Google will provide you with modern, up-to-date results.
