HTML is a markup language which uses Tags to design web page. For example HTML tags are like:
<HTML> … </HTML>
<HTML> and </HTML> are called tags. First one is a start tag and second is an end tag. Tags are something like commands in programming languages. <HTML> tag tells the browser that this is start of the HTML and </HTML> marks its end.
HTML code headers
Every html page must have a header. Header contains important information about the page. Different tags are used for different sections of a header. Header of an html page is specified by <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
…
</HEAD>
</HTML>
We will enter header information between <HEAD> </HEAD> tags.
Title
One of the most important parts of a header is title. Title is the small text that will appear in title bar of viewer’s browser. So html document will be as below.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Title of your page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
</HTML>
Web page body
Now our web page needs a body in which we will enter web page content. As you may guess we will use these tags:
<BODY> </BODY>
Body will come right after header end tag. So our web page will be something like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My web page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Welcome to my homepage. Few More text here.
</BODY>
</HTML>
Now type html code in notepad/editplus and save it as “my_page.html”. Then view html file in your browser by double clicking on it in windows explorer.
