The following website is more than just an *HTML* reference, this is a
structured approach for learning how to create web pages, designed by
specialists in learning at the Maricopa *institute.
Note that this is a very old tutorial teaching a very old version of
HTML (3.2) instead of the current version (4.01). In addition, the HTML
validator from the World Wide Web Consortium (who define the HTML
standards) reveals that the sample page they teach you to build contains
7 syntax errors:

I'm not saying don't follow the tutorial; I am saying don't assume you
know HTML at the end of it. The best documentation of HTML is the HTML
specification at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/
It should be consulted for the authoritative verdict. I'd recommend
reading what it says about particular features before using them.
Sitepoint provide an unofficial reference guide that's halfway decent:

I have a big list of tutorials, reference guides, and other resources
for people learning web design at:

Hope it helps.
Also, there is a discussion list for blind web builders. I'm not sure of the
subscribe addy, but another lister might well have that for you.*
The discussion list you're thinking of might be:

You can subscribe from that page or via email; instructions here:
