This is a basic layout of the most commonly used HTML tags

and what they mean or do. Be sure to use lower case letters
because some browsers can be case sensitive when
reading HTML.
When working with HTML it is important to remember to
use opening and closing brackets ( < > </> ) where
applicable. You must also remember to make sure and
include the quotation marks when enclosing items such
as color, size, numbers, etc example ( <bgcolor="#00000"> )
otherwise the effect will not work.
Color is most always expressed with the # sign first followed
by the five digit color code for a specific color. When you
look at the following list if you see a number sign enclosed
in quotations "#" or if a question mark enclosed in quotations
"?" it means you must provide a specific value in order to
obtain the effect you desire. This also holds true for
the url link "url" this means you must provide a url address
in order to link to that page or content.
This is just a basic explination for those interested in
learning HTML. You do not need expensive html editors
or software to make basic web pages, but if you want
a more professional looking job it would be advisable
to purchase software that can help you with more
detailed tags and make your life easier if you are just
starting out. You can write html code in on notepad
then save as a html document and view it with
your browser.
Hope you find this helpful and enjoy learning
HTML!
