Introduction

With HTML you can create your own custom web site.  These tutorials will teach you everything about HTML.

HTML is extremely easy to learn and you will enjoy the experience.

All you need is a bit of creativity, some tendency for experimentation and basic computer skills.

The tutorials will be divided into different chapters, starting from the basic of HTML to advance features.

What is HTML?

HTML is a language for creating  web pages.

  • HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
  • HTML is not a programming language, it is a markup language
  • A markup language is a set of markup tags
  • HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages

HTML Documents = Web Pages

  • HTML documents describe web pages
  • HTML documents contain HTML tags and plain text
  • HTML documents are also called web pages

The purpose of a web browser (like IE, Opera or Firefox) is to read HTML documents and display them as web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content of the page

HTML Tags

HTML markup tags are usually called HTML tags

  • HTML tags are keywords surrounded by angle brackets like <html>
  • 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

Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing tags.

In the first tutorial “My First Program” we will discuss more about tags.
