Basic Understanding of HTML


Web pages are written in HyperText Mark-up Language (HTML). HTML contains special markers, or tags, which define the style and structure of the page. (Sometimes tags are referred to as elements.) To understand HTML let's start by taking a look at an example of some basic HTML source code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My Home Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<!-- Written by me -->
<!-- Created:  yesterday -->
<!-- Last modified:  today -->

<BODY>

This is where the text goes. 

</BODY>
</HTML>

HTML may look a little confusing at first, but it is easy to learn.
