HTML Introduction

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language this serves as the back-bone of a single html web page. HTML is a simple scripting language used to create your a web page. On this tutorial, I will guide you on how to create your own web page. I will discuss here from the very basic to advance HTML scripting. I will make this nice and easy so that you'll learn it very quick. So, let's get started. :)

Getting Started

HTML is made up of markup tags (pair of tags) like <html>...</html>. Markup tags are not revealed by a web browser, they are invisible. We should follow the main markup tags structures: (See code below). We will be using this main markup tags structure all throughout the tutorials.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>...</head>
<body>...</body>
</html>

Notice the code above they always have a pair-tag like <html> (we call it opening tag) and </html> (we call it the closing tag)

Remember this everytime you create a HTML script the format above should be in correct order (it cannot be interchange), it is case-insensitive meaning ( <HTml>...</htML> ) are acceptable but not recommended.


Editor

You can use notepad, dreamweaver, and etc...


File Format

When saving the HTML script it should in *.htm or *.html file format.



On the next tutorial you'll learn more about markup tags.
