Introduction to HTML

 

HTML is a markup language used by all web browsers in determining how to display a web page. It consists of simple text (content), plus tags. Tags represents the essence of HTML; whenever you want to make your text bold, insert an image or table, add music to your page, you use tags. Tags are special codes that wrap around various content to affect the content. Lets see an example of a tag:

 

<b>

 

The above is the bold tag, and when wrapped around text, makes the text appear bold!

 

<b>This text is bold!</b>

 

Notice that there is a </b> tag attached at the end of the content. This is the bold tag's closing tag, and it tells the browser- "Hay, I want bold text only up to that point!" Most tags have a complimentary closing tag, as you will see as we trottle along.

 

HTML is essentially a bunch of tags with even more text. Once you learn the syntax of these tags, you can call yourself a HTML expert!
