    Hi,
    Webpages are written in HTML - a simple scripting language.

    HTML is short for HyperText Markup Language.

    * Hypertext is simply a piece of text that works as a link.


    * Markup Language is a way of writing layout information within documents.


    Basically an HTML document is a plain text file that contains text and nothing else.

    When a browser opens an HTML file, the browser will look for HTML codes in the text and use them to change the layout, insert images, or create links to other pages.

    Since HTML documents are just text files they can be written in even the simplest text editor.

    A more popular choice is to use a special HTML editor - maybe even one that puts focus on the visual result rather than the codes - a so-called WYSIWYG editor ("What You See Is What You Get").

    Some of the most popular HTML editors, such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver will let you create pages more or less as you write documents in Word or whatever text editor you're using.

    However, there are some very good reasons to create your own pages - or parts of them - by hand...

    Thanks & regards

    I agree strongly with creating pages by hand. Thanks for doing the tutorial.
    If you would like please check out this tool.

    You can type in your html by hand and then it will test it, let you preview it,and create a copy of it at xhtml 1.o standard.

    I do php tutorials from time to time and I am working on one that will be interactive. Where you learn the code and also get to see what you wrote in action.

    Some common tags we use in html are:
    The <p> tag offers a way to structure your text into different paragraphs. Each paragraph of text should go in between an opening <p> and a closing </p>.whenever you use the <br /> element, anything following it starts from the next line.You can use <center> tag to put any content in the center of the page or any table cell.The <hr> tag creates a line from the current position in the document to the right margin and breaks the line accordingly.

    Thank you for posting a basic introduction about HTML, it's clear and concise. Beside, HyperText Markup Language, commonly referred to as HTML, is the standard markup language used to create Web page. Web browser can read HTML files and render them into visible or audible web pages. HTML describes the structure of a website along with cues for presentation, making it a markup language, rather than a programming language.

    HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites. HTML allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, link, quotes and other items.

    What is HTML?

    HTML is a highpertext markup language for describing web documents (web pages).

    - A markup language is a set of markup tags
    - HTML documents are described by HTML tags
    - Each HTML tag describes different document content

    HTML basic program :

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Page Title</title>
    </head>
    <body>

    <h1>My First Heading</h1>
    <p>My first paragraph.</p>

    </body>
    </html>



    The text between <html> and </html> describes an HTML document <html>......</html>
    The text between <head> and </head> provides information about the document <head>.....</head>
    The text between <title> and </title> provides a title for the document <title>.....</title>
    The text between <body> and </body> describes the visible page content <body>....</body>
    The text between <h1> and </h1> describes a heading <h1>.....</h1>
    The text between <p> and </p> describes a paragraph <p>....</p>

    HTML Tags

    HTML tags are keywords (tag names) surrounded by angle brackets :

    <tagname>content</tagname>

    HTML tags normally come in pairs like

    <p> and </p>

    The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
    The end tag is written like the start tag, but with a slash before the tag name
