Why You need to know HTML, if You are a web designer

It is always important for people to know what they are doing and how things work if it is their job to know such things. Web designers need to know HTML so that if something goes wrong with the web page or the program that they are using to build the web page, then they can go in and fix the problem or continue working. Plus, even though you are doing all of your work on a computer, you don't want the computer to have too much power over you, so knowing how to 'manually' do HTML can help you control your computer rather than the other way around, if you are a web designer. If web designers don't know how to do HTML, then nobody will and it would be pretty hard to make advancements in that area without knowledge of the basics.
