HTML – Hypertext Markup Language

What is HTML? HTML is Hypertext Markup Language. Web pages are created using HTML which is an authoring language used to create documents on the World Wide Web (www). When you understand this language and take apart codes in a document, it is not as scary.

Here are some basic HTML codes:

Main headline=    <h1></h1>

Paragraph=          <p><p/>

Line Break=          <br />

Bold=                    <strong></strong>

Underline=            <u></u>

Hyperlink=             <a href=”______________”></a>. Where the line is is where you would put your link that you want hyperlinked such as, http://www.google.com.

Font color=            <font color=”_____”></font>. Where the underline is, is where you would put red or green or whatever color you want the word to be.

Image=                  <img src=”_______” />. Where the line is is where you would input the url address for the image you want posted.

Horizontal rule=     <hr />.

Ok, so this may not make sense to someone who has never worked with code, so maybe a Introduction to html video will help.
