With HTML you can create your own tidy web page!

7th August, 2010

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) uses markup tags to describe web pages. The purpose of web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Crome or Firefox is to read HTML documents and display them as web pages.

<html>
<body>
<h1>Heading</h1>
<p>Your first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>

The above example shows <html> and </html> which describes the web page… Then within the webpage you have visible page content located between the <body> and </body> tags. Information on the page is divided into <h1>Heading</h1> (think of this as the title) then <p> and </p> which displays a paragraph.

Did you know you could use a plain text editor such as notepad to create and edit HTML? Why not try the above yourself! Copy and paste the example into notepad and save the file as example.html to your desktop.
