As im starting a post all about coding, you will be learning.
Start today with html, shall we?
What does HTML stand for, anyway?
Hyper Text Markup Language
An html file could be htm or html
Open up your favourite text editor, i use notepad.
Type in the following:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled - Document</title>
</head>
<body>
My first page
</body>
</html>
Save this as "index.html" anywhere on your computer. Click it, opening it in ie or firefox. Congratulations, there is your first web page.
The first tag in your HTML document is <html>. This tag tells your browser that this is the start of an HTML document. The last tag in your document is </html>. This tag tells your browser that this is the end of the HTML document.
The text between the <head> tag and the </head> tag is header information. Header information is not displayed in the browser window.
The text between the <title> tags is the title of your document. The title is displayed in your browser's caption.
The text between the <body> tags is the text that will be displayed in your browser.
I'd also like to point out that everything is like this : <markup></markup>
Pretty cool, huh?
Gah this is hard!
Did I tell you that you can use Dreamweaver?
HTML Tags
HTML tags are used to mark-up HTML elements
HTML tags are surrounded by the two characters < and >
The surrounding characters are called angle brackets
HTML tags normally come in pairs like <b> and </b>
The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
The text between the start and end tags is the element content
HTML tags are not case sensitive, <b> means the same as <B>
Did I also tell you that you can make sweet websites like this with html? Oh.. Well you can.
HTML Elements
Of course you've seen a periodic table, with all the elements. Well, I hope I can create a HTML periodic table.. So anyway.
See, since your using this forum right now, you should know a little about tags. Much like bbcode you can do things like: italicsunderlinebold. Of course, you dont use [/], you use </>. As hard as it seems, its not that hard. A html tag is an element, see this: <b></b>? <b> is an element. Whatever goes inside of the element takes part of it, such as making it bold. The end of the element keeps the bold from spilling on to the rest of your paper. Cool huh?
Will finish soon.
