Weaving your Webpage

So what is an html document?

     HTML documents are plain-text (also known as ASCII) files that can be created using any text editor (e.g., Emacs or vi on UNIX machines; BBEdit on a Macintosh; Notepad on a Windows machine). You can also use word-processing software if you remember to save your document as "text only with line breaks." HTML stands for hypertext markup language.

HTML Tags

     Tags are what make HTML a hypertext language. It consists of a start tag <B> plus one or more attributes naming or describing the tag plus > then content that is affected by the tag, followed by an end tag </B> For example, <B> causes whatever text follows to be printed in bold. Bold print will continue until the end tag </B> is reached.
