HTML Basics

"Hyper Text Markup Language."

The hidden code language used to create web pages displayed by a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox).

• HTML reads like you do, top to bottom, left to right.

• HTML is written with text.

• "TAGS" (commands) are used to set sections of text apart: Plain text Bold text Underline text Smaller text Larger text Colored text

• HTML for above bullet point:

  "TAGS" (commands) are used to set sections of text apart:<span style="font-weight: normal;"> Plain text</span> Bold text <u>Underline text</u></font><small><font size="4"> </font><font size="3">Smaller text</font></small><big><font size="5"> Larger text</font></big><font size="4"></font><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"><font size="4">Colored text<br>

   

• For example: For bold text, put a tag at the exact point you want the bold lettering to start and another tag where you want the bold lettering to stop.

• Each tag begins with a "less-then" sign: <

• Each tag ends with a "greater-than" sign: >
