An introduction to writing HTML for webpage markup, for the newbie webmaster.
The language of the web; that's what HTML is.
HTML is a markup language, which means that it has special character codes
called tags which you use to describe what your webpage is going to look
like.
For example, here are a couple of very simple tags :
| <br> |
line break, skip to the next line |
| <p> |
start paragraph, skip a line or more |
| </p> |
end a paragraph |
|
So if you code this on your webpage source :
<p>Kulshing gargies should<br>treep their snipiars<font size="+1" color="brown"><b>!</p></font></p>
You will see this :
Kulshing gargies should treep their snipiars!
Web layout strategies have been changing dramatically in recent years. Designers used to always use tables to achieve their desired look, now the shift to CSS has become popular, largely because of its adherence to web standards. |
