HTML is the abbreviation for HyperText Markup Language. It is a special code used for the creation of websites, and most Web
designers know it, or they know a program that creates HTML for them. HTML can be a little frustrating and difficult to
actually understand.
Steps
1. HTML reads left to right. First, you have to understand tags. Tags are placed at the beginning of whatever you want to
change. If you wanted to make a word bold, you'd put a tag at the beginning of the word, and at the end.
2. Tags begin with a less-than sign: < and end with a greater-than sign: >. What goes inside the < and > is the tag. Learning
HTML is learning the tag to perform whatever you want to do. Usually, the tag at the end has a / before the greater sign. For
example: <example>Hello</example>
- Every tag should begin with an opening and closing tag. If a tag only does not specifically use a closing tag [such as <br>
or <img>, which will you see below], then the tag should end with a slash inside of the tag. Thus, the previous tags would be
written as <br/> and <img/>, respectively.
- The tag for a paragraph is <p>.
- The tag for bold is <strong> or <b>.
- The tag for italics is <em> or <i>.
- In HTML, the <HTML> tag must be placed around the code.
- The tag for a break (skip in the line, hitting to hitting "enter" on the keyboard) is <br />.
- The <body> tag is always around the text.
3. By now, you can write HTML using tags. But what if you want more? Here's some more codes:
To insert images: <img src="URL" />
To resize images: <img src="URL" width="400" /> (size is adjustable)
Linking images: <a href="URL OF LINK"> <img src="URL" border="0"> </a>
4. There are many websites that explain HTML more in-depth. Some good sites are Funky-Chickens.com and
HtmlCodeTutorial.com.
5.Every HTML page start with <html> and end with </html>. It will tell the server that it is a html page. Within the <html>
tag, the page consist of head and body section. The head section allows us to specify the title. The body section is the
content of the html page.
6. Now that we have tags down, let's see what we can make with the knowledge:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Title Goes Here</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>I like to write a lot of <strong>HTML!</strong></p>
<br>
<p>Tags are so much fun. You can do it, too!</p>
</body>
</html>
