HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the language needed for the creation of web pages . I will skip the part about the history and the development of HTML , and concentrate on its practical use .
To start creating an HTML document open Notepad and type the following : <html><head>
</head>
<body bgcolor="red">
Enter here some text
</body></html> Now go to "File" > "Save As..." , in the field "Save as filetype" choose "All files" , and in the field above enter a name for the file , type a period and add htm or html (for example: "aname.html" - without quotes ) . Save it .
Every HTML document has to have the tags you see in the above example (except if it is a document with frames - then you use instead of "body" the "frameset" tag) , and it should also have the <title>...</title> tag . In the previous example we have an HTML document with a red background (that is determined with the attribute "bgcolor") and the text you have entered . In order to change the background color we need to change the value of the attribute "bgcolor" (the name of the color in English - f.ex. green , azure , magenta etc. or in hexadecimal form - "#000000" for black , "#FFFFFF" for white , "#FF0000" for red etc.) . To change the color or size of the text on the page you can use the <font> tag (though it is recommended to use CSS for that purpose) . Example : <body bgcolor="red"><font color="white" size="4">Here goes the text...</font> . The font-size goes from 1 to 7 , and for the font-color applies the same as for the background-colors .
More about HTML will added soon. |
