HTML

HyperText Markup Language

• Not a programming language
• A language to describe how documents should look like
• Explains how text and pictures are to be displayed
• Used by browser software to display the web pages

Documents may contain:

• Text
• Images
• Links to other documents (Hyperlinks)
• Video, Sounds, etc.

How does it work?

• HTML code must be stored with extension .htm or .html
• HTML instructions to the browser are called "tags"
• Tags are embedded in the document
• Tags are enclosed in < >
• Most tags have a beginning and end ex. <b> </b> text within beginning and end of tag will be affected

Some Tags:

• <b>  start text with bold font </b>
• <center> centers text </center>
• <br> line break
• <h1> start text of type header #1 </h1>
• <img src=" url "> display image whose url is provided

For hiperlink, you can use this format:

<a href="http://www.franca.com">Instructor web page</a>

will generate this: Instructor web page

If the target is located in the current directory, you may omit the  " http : // " part
