- 1HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language)HTML is a computer language used to create web pages. You can create HTML
directly in the language itself or by using authoring software (such as Adobe ®
Dreamweaver ® or Microsoft ® Expression) which uses templates and wizards to create
HTML code. HTML fi les usually have a fi lename with .htm or.html as the fi le extension;
for example, document.htm.
HTML is a language which relies on a series of tags. Tags usually operate in pairs, as
shown in the example in Table 1.5 (page 21). There is an opening tag such as ,
or , and an end tag. End tags are identifi ed by starting with the ‘/’ character.
For example: closes the section of program called ‘body’; closes the
bullet point tag and
ends the paragraph ‘p’.
Tags which don’t operate in pairs include (used to tag an image) and header
tags (e.g. ).
The content between each pair of tags is called an HtML element . The language is
written as a series of elements. Gradually the elements build up to describe a web
page. Table 1.5 gives a small, simplistic example. - 2Examples of HTML codesThis is a paragraph
