HTMLHTML•HTML is NOT case sensitive
•However, proper coding etiquette if for all <TAGS> to be in ALL CAPS and for text to be in regular sentence form.
Basic HTML TagsBasic HTML TagsEach HTML tag has three basic parts:
1. An open angle bracket (less than sign): <
2. The text and characters that tell Web browsers what to do
3. A closing angle bracket (greater than sign): >
<HTML>
HTML TagsHTML Tags
Many tags are used in pairs (some stand alone)Start tags tell the browser where to turn on particular formatting function (like italics)
<TAG>End tags tell the browser where to turn off the function. They include a slash.
</TAG> (Container Tag)Empty tag - <LI> - Stands Alone
LIFOLIFO
*Important note about paired tags:
Tags have to be LIFO: Last In First Out
It means that the LAST tag you turn on should always be the FIRST you turn off.

Three Sections of an HTML DocumentThree Sections of an HTML Document
1. The HTML document
2. The HEAD section
3. The BODY section
HTML SectionHTML Section
<HTML></HTML> The first tag in every HTML document will
always be <HTML>, which tells the Web browsers that everything that follows should be treated as a Web page.
The </HTML> tag tells the browser where the page ends.
HEAD SectionHEAD Section
<HEAD></HEAD> Immediately follows the opening <HTML> tag. Purpose of this section is to provide general information
about a particular Web page. This tag contains the Web page’s title
(<TITLE></TITLE> tags) This section is NOT displayed in the page’s body. Page’s title will appear at the top of the browser window,
in the title bar
BODY SectionBODY Section
<BODY> </BODY>
Follows the HEAD section Contains all of your Web pages content (text,
graphics, etc.)
Saving Web PagesSaving Web Pages
Save every page as a .html or .htm Save main page (home page) as index.htm
This is the filename that servers first try to download. If you save your main page as index.htm, you help ensure that it is the first page that your audience will see.
EXAMPLEEXAMPLE
<HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>I’m at the top of the screen in
the blue area</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY><H1>Basic Example</H1><H2>This is
basic coding! </H2> </BODY> </HTML>

More HTMLMore HTML By default, browsers read the text of your
Web page as a continuous line of single-spaced text.
Adding White SpaceAdding White Space White space refers to the amount of empty
space on a page. The more white space on a page, the easier it is
to read. Force browsers to break up text by using :
Paragraph tagsLine breaksHorizontal lines
Paragraph Tags <P>Paragraph Tags <P> Add white space between paragraphs <P> adds one line of white space For example: Four score and seven years ago <P> our fathers brought forth <P> on this continent
a new nation, <P> conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition <P> that all men are created equal.
Would be displayed in a browser as: Four score and seven years ago
our fathers brought forth
on this continent a new nation,
conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal.
