HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.A HTML document is made up of tags.
Tags are enclosed in these brackets < >.
Here are some tags and there functions:
<HTML> This tag tells the browser that it is a HTML document.
</HTML> This tag tells the browser that the document ends here.
<BODY> This tag indicates the start of the body.
</BODY> This indicates the end of the body.
Everything you want to appear on the page lies between the body tags.
<H1> anything placed between these tags appears as a heading </H1>
<P> to start a paragraph use this tag, end the paragraph using this </P>
Now we build your first web page
Find notepad on your start menu and click on it.
Type this code into it.
<HTML>
<BODY>
<H1>My First Web Page</H1>
<P>This is my first web page, I hope you like it, I will be putting lots of great things here.</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
When you have this typed you then have to save it.
It must be saved as a HTML document.To do this you add '.html' on to the name.
We will call it newpage so we save it as newpage.html .
When you view it next time it will have transformed into a web page.
