Right click, and select "View Source" or "View Page Source" - this will show you the html code for any page you visit. You should also go to Open Source Web Design to look around at how other people put the basics together.

If you're using Windows, you can download a free "wsywig" editor from Microsoft, called Visual Web Developer. This is a lot like Word, where you type, click bold buttons, and so on, and the software writes the code for you. It's a bit complex, so you might do better with just a simple text editor, especially while you learn.

A lot has changed over the years, so try to focus on newer materials. Don't learn much about tables, but read up on CSS as much as you can.

I wouldn't recommend ANY WYSIWYG editor at all until you learn HTML and can code by hand. WYSIWYG editors are just generally bad and spew pretty bad code. Stick to Notepad or other text editor until you learn.

Learn CSS while you're at it, don't fall into the bad habit of using tables for layout !

I would recommend this book: http://www.sitepoint.com/books/html1/
And there's a good article there right now too:

WSYWIG editors are designed to hide knowledge from the user. You can't really learn from them, because the code they write is the always the strangest, most difficult to understand of all possible ways to do something.

Would strongly suggest learning HTML coding instead of WYSIWYG. That knowledge will be much more valuable to you. Just don't try to learn everything at once... it would be overwhelming. Start with creating a basic page and go from there by experimenting with more tags to see what they do. You'll find it is easy once you get going.
