HTML Tutorial

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language)

A document-formatting language derived from the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), predominately used to create World Wide Web pages. Your browser interprets HTML commands and formats the page layout, fonts and graphics on the screen. One of the more powerful features of HTML is its ability to create hyperlinks. Dynamic HTML supports real-time personalization of Web page content.

HTML defines the structure and layout of a Web document by using a variety of tags and attribute. The correct structure for an HTML document starts with <HTML><HEAD> (enter here what document is about) </HEAD><BODY> and ends with </BODY></HTML>. All the information you'd like to include in your Web page fits in between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags.

If you simply place that code into a blank text document you would have you first web page.

<html>
<head>
<title> Place Your Page Title Here </title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body> Place Your Text here
</body>
</html>

There are hundreds of other tags used to format and layout the information in a Web page, Quick HTML Reference.
