Welcome to HTML Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) documents are ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) or plain text documents that drive the World Wide Web (WWW). Within the document there are embedded commands (called tags) that are interpreted by the WEB browser. These embedded commands do all the fancy stuff of HTML like; (display pictures, make links to other sites, bold face, etc.). It is this language that formats the window to achieve different cosmetic effects. Some of the basics of the language. Commands must be enclosed within greater-than/less-than signs. Commands must have a beginning point. <example> Most commands have a corresponding ending command. </example> - - - notice the / HTML codes are NOT case sensitive. <EXAMPLE> = <example> = <eXaMpLe> This tutorial contains the foundation of the HTML Language. It is by no means a complete guide to HTML. However, I do believe that if you go through this tutorial, you should become fairly knowledgeable of the HTML language. This could also become a resource to find quick answers once you start designing WEB pages on your own. As a resource for other people on the NET, if you find anything that is incorrect, I would greatly appreciate any input (corrections or otherwise).
