HTML

Wednesday, November 01, 2006

HTML documents are plain text files created using any text editor.

HTML Tags

HTML tags are used to mark elements (images, text, links, etc) of a file

• most HTML tags are container tags - they consist of two tags, a beginning and an end tag


• beginning tags contain a left bracket <, tag name, and a right bracket >


• end tags contain a left bracket <, a slash /, tag name, and a right bracket >


• the beginning and end tags are wrapped around a range of text


• some tags contain attributes (instructions added within a tag to modify its appearance)


• tags are not case sensitive

HTML Structural Tags

All web pages require a set of structural tags that help the browser sort out the parts of the document

These tags do not affect how the content looks

html = container tags that tell the browser the page is html-coded

head = contains descriptive information about the document

body = contains the actual content that displays in the browser
