Changes to the layout
Please note that you can make many changes to the general layout. We will not get into that because we could easily spend the next two hours on it.
In Windows, you can view the dvi file with the program yap, which is distributed with the MikTex package.

HTML Basic Definitions
• HTML – HyperText Markup Language.
• HTML Document – A document written in HyperText
Markup Language.
• HTTP – The abbreviation for Hypertext
Transfer Protocol, HTTP is used to link and transfer hypertext documents.
Tags
• HTML is a mark up language like LaTeX. Tags are being used to enter and leave a new environment:
<tag> ... </tag> • In LaTex one would either use the \begin{tag} …. \end{tag}coding or its abbreviated version
(e.g., {\bf blaba} for boldface font).
Examples for Tags
<HTML> = Begin of an HTML Document<HEAD> = Begin of non-visible headerBanner for title bar<TITLE>Document Title</TITLE></HEAD> =close head<BODY> =start body, this text will be
displayed</BODY> =end body</HTML> =end of the HTML document
Comments
Comments are set in HTML like this<!– This is a comment. --> Recall, in LaTex we had the ‘%’ sign
instead.
Headings
most import, largest<H1>Heading 1</H1> <H2>Heading 2</H2> <H3>Heading 3</H3> <H4>Heading 4</H4> <H5>Heading 5</H5> <H6>Heading 6</H6> least important,
smallestThis equivalent to the \chapter and \section headings in LaTex
Paragraphs
<P Paragraph </P>
For the line break, you would use.Linebreak <\br> … a rare case with
only one tag! While for the block quotation one would
write:<blockquote> ..quotation...
</blockquote>
