INTRODUCTIONHTML stands for HyperText Markup Language; it is not a programming language but is a collection of tags used to "mark-up" text and images for display in a Web browser. Each HTML tag is enclosed in angled brackets (< >) and these tags are used in pairs around the text to be marked up. The following pages will help you learn about two dozen tags (with some commonly used attributes) in order to design and create Webpages.You can use Notepad (usually found on your desktop under Programs -> Accessories) to create Webpages; there are also free or inexpensive HTML editors such as NoteTab Light available. Do not use a regular word processor (or even Wordpad) unless you remember to save your files as text files. Each Webpage filename must have the extension .htm or .html; filenames must not have spaces in them. Be consistent with your filenames; name your files with all lowercase (or ALL UPPERCASE) letters. |
