Step 2
<html>
Notice that (1) each
formatting tag appears between "less than" (<) and "greater than" (>)
signs, and (2) the tags often appear in pairs, with the second tag
in the pair beginning with a "slash" (/).
Here's a list of some of
the basic formatting tags in
HTML:
Note: Any paragraph returns that you
insert in your document by simply hitting the Return key on your keyboard
will be ignored by a Web browser. You must use the tag <p>
to create a paragraph break on the
screen.
(Note: Don't worry if this information seems confusing or overwhelming right now. It will make more sense as you apply it in the next few steps.)
Now you need to insert some formatting tags
in your document that will tell an Internet browser (such as
Netscape, America Online, or Internet Explorer) how to arrange your words and pictures on the screen.
These tags make up a language called HyperText Markup Language, or HTML.
The basic skeleton for an HTML document looks like
this:
<head>
<title>Title of
Page</title>
</head>
<body>
Text of
page...
</body>
</html>
