| The web uses a computer language called HTML (HyperText Markup Language). Each website you visit typically is written in HTML is interrupted by your browser when you view it.
Like any language it has rules and a vocabulary. The individual pieces are called "tags". It is thorough the combination of these tags that your website is built. Some tags have and ending tag, i.e. </tag>. Other only require only one half of the tag pair to work. The main tags: <HTML></HTML> The main tag is the <HTML>. This tag is typically the first (and last) tag on your webpage. It identifies your file as an HTML file. < HEAD></HEAD> This tag separates the top of the html file from the body of the file. < TITLE></TITLE> The TITLE tag is used if you want the title of your webpage to be displayed in the title bar of your browser. < BODY></BODY> The majority of your website will reside between the starting and ending BODY tags. With these four tag a website could be built. It couldn’t do much but it would contain the basic commands needed. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>The minimum tags needed</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> </BODY> </HTML> view example |
