Basics What is HTML? HTML is the language used to create web pages. It tells your browser (like Internet Explorer or Firefox) what to display on a web page. What does HTML stand for? HTML stands for Hyper. Text Markup Language. Hypertext. Text with links to other pages. Can contain images and other things. Basically, a web page. Markup Language. The set of instructions that describe how text should be displayed. For HTML, these instructions are called tags. HTML = Hyper. Text Markup Language = The tags that tell your browser what to display on a web page. How Does HTML Work? In an HTML tutorial for beginners it's all about the tags. Browsers, like Internet Explorer or Firefox, are used to display web pages. Tags tell your browser what to display on a web page. This is the HTML tag: <html> It's the main tag. It says, "Everthing after this is a web page. " There are beginning and ending tags. They come in pairs: <html> </html> Your browser understands this. Your browser doesn't display tags. It displays only what is between the tags. Powerpoint Templates Page 2
A Basic Webpage <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W 3 C//DTD XHTML 1. 1//EN" "http: //www. w 3. org/TR/xhtml 11/DTD/xhtml 1 1. dtd"> <html> <body> <h 1>This is a heading</h 1> <p>This is the paragraph text. This is more paragraph text. </p> </body> </html> Powerpoint Templates Page 3
Let’s get a little fancier HTML Elements Most HTML elements have these four parts: A starting tag Example: <p> An ending tag Example: </p> The content between the starting and ending tags Example: "Once upon a time a girl with… etc. " Attributes (more about attributes in the next section) Example: style="background-color: yellow" Here's an example of an HTML element: <p style="background-color: yellow">Once upon a time a girl with beautiful long golden hair… etc. </p> By the way… there a few elements that only have one tag. For example: The element causes the browser to skip to the next line. It's the "line break" tag. There are no contents or ending tag for these types of elements. Powerpoint Templates Page 4
Still getting fancy HTML Attributes A HTML element can have attributes. An attribute gives more information about the contents of an element to the browser. Think of an attribute as quality or characteristic of the element. The attribute of an element is located in the starting tag. <p style="background-color: yellow">blah. </p> This particular style attribute tells the browser to make the background color of that paragraph yellow. If you know your HTML basics it will be much easier for you to learn what you need to know in order to build your website. If you are going to be creating websites for a while (there's a good chance you will be) tags, elements and attributes are things you want to be clear on. Powerpoint Templates Page 5
