What is HTML?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, which is the programming
language used throughtout the WWW. Although it is very limited, combined
with java script, it can provide a kick`en site.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What do i use to code HTML?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Windows Notepad, is you use anything else your a pussy, and shouldn't have a
homepage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
learning HTML
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
if you are a programmer, you will be able to pick up on this stuff in about
5 minutes, if you're just an adverage kinda guy, it might take you 10 :).
HTML is very simple. It is made up of tags, which are always in the greater &
less than symbols "< >". Most tags have to parts, one that starts the action,
and one that ends it. The one that ends it contains a "/" (w/o quotes) within
the <>'s.
<p> </p>
That would be the start and finish of a paragraph.
Okay now that ya know that, heres the most basic HTML document.
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
this will produce a simple grey screen in the web browser, and heres the
break down:
<html> = tell the system that its a hyper text document
<head> = starts the header, this is where the title and most java
scripts are located
<title> </title> = the opening and closing of the title tags. The
title is what is displayed on the top of the browser, in
bookmarks, and in search engines as the name of your page.
Don't make it to long.
</head> = closes the header area.
<body> = is is the main portion of the document, and it is in this
tag that you specify back stuff, text colors(for the most
part), link colors, and start your java scripts.
</body> = closes the body
</html> = tells the browser that it's done
here are the other tags that you will need in a simple document:
<p> </p>: Paragraph, put your text inside. NOTE: spaces are pretty much
ignored in this tag:
example1: <p>This is an example</p>
will look like: This is an example
example2: <p>This is an example</p>
will look like: This is an example
notice the spacing in the final product is the same
<pre> </pre> : pre formatted text, this is what you would use to keep the
spacing the way that you want it:
<pre>
This is a test to check spcaing ! !
</pre>
would look like:
This is a test to check spcaing ! !
Looks exactly the same as you entered it.
<img src="url" width="xxx" height="xxx">: inserts images into an html
document, URL is the location(such as "images/tlg.gif")
Width and height are sizes in pixels.
<hr width="xxx%" align=" " size="x">: creates a horizontal line, width is
the percent of the screen to take up
with the line, align can be either:
center, left or right, to align it
on the screen. and size is how thick
the line is.
<a href="url">text</a> = hyper link. url is where you want to go, text is the
text that the user sees, and </a> closes the statement.
thats all the basic stuff that you need to get started. If i feel motivated,
all write a doc on how to do frames, tables, so you exactly how to manipulte
font's and colors and stuff..
