HTML help
HTML is the way that web pages are stored and sent to your computer. Your web browser (for example: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, Opera...) turns the code of HTML into a display on your screen.
It is possible to read and write HTML and in lesson 3 we will have a go at it ourselves. Here are some tips:
- A HTML file always starts with <html> and ends with </html>
- Next, put a <head> section - this contains the <title>title</title>
- After that comes the <body> section - this contains all the information on the screen.
- Don't forget to put a closing tag for each one you open - except a few like <img>
Here's a few tags and what their instruction means. You can copy and paste the examples to help you.
