Although their resume may state that they're an HTML expert, often times many developers can't actually write an HTML document from top to bottom. They rely on an external publisher or have to constantly flip back to a reference manual. A possible exercise is to draw up a fake website and ask them to write the HTML for it. Keep it simple and just make sure they have the basics down - watch for mistakes like forgetting the <head> </head> tags or serious misuse of certain elements. If they write something like: <image src="/some/image.gif">, it might be a good hint to wrap things up and call the next interviewee.

it really is that easy. The best way to learn how to write html is to look at the source code behind every webpage. To look at the source code choose view from the top browser tool bar and click and translates the text into a visible form. Writing your own HTML entails using tags correctly to create your vision.
