I don't think there is something like "basic HTML" opposed to HTML5. HTML5 is the current version of the HTML standard, and it makes sense to learn it if you start now, instead of learning older versions; every version of HTML has "basic" components and some more advanced ones.

Yes, but would you start to learn Python 2.x now?

It's the same here; CSS 3 is the current version of CSS, and of course you should study that; and it has "basic" components and much more advanced ones.

That may be due to the fact that this board deals with the blog engine Serendipity - and here specifically the creation of templates for it - and not with general questions about HTML and CSS. :-)
