INTRODUCTION TO HTML

HTML

Introduction to HTML

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.  An HTML file is a text file containing small markup tags.  The markup tags tell the web browser how to display the page.  An HTML file must have an htm or html file extension.  An HTML file can be created using a simple text editor.

Head Section

This section is used to specify the title of the document.  It begins with <head> tag.  This is followed by the <title> tag, which in turn is followed by the title of the document.  The title ends with </title> tag and the head section ends with the </head> tag

Body section

This section contains the document itself.  The body section begin with the <body> tag followed by the text of the documents and it ends with the </body> tag.

Eg:
<html>
<head>
<title> title of the page </title>
</head>
<body>

<title>CSC Computer Education</title>

<body bgcolor=”yellow” text=”red”>

<i>Computer</i>
<u>Education</u>
</body>
</html>

Headings:
Headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags.  <h1> defines the largest heading.  <h6> defines the smallest heading.  HTML automatically ads an extra line before and after a heading

<html>
<head>
<title>CSC Computer Education</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>CSC</h1>
<h2>CSC</h2>
<h3>CSC</h3>
<h4>CSC</h4>
<h5>CSC</h5>
<h6>CSC</h6>
</body>
<html>

<html>
<head>
<title>CSC Computer Education</title>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h1>CSC</h1>
<h2>CSC</h2>
<h3>CSC</h3>
<h4>CSC</h4>
<h5>CSC</h5>
<h6>CSC</h6>
</center>
</body>
<html>

Paragraphs:

Paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag.  HTML automatically adds an extra blank line before and after a heading

<html>
<head>
<title>CSC Computer Education</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<p>This is another paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>

Line Breaks

The <br> tag is used when you want to end a line. But don’t want o start a new paragraph.  The <br> tag forces a line break whenever you place it.  The<br> tag is an empty tag so it has no closing tag.
You can use a horizontal rule (the <hr> tag), to draw a horizontal line.

<html>
<head>
<title>CSC Computer Education</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<p>This is another paragraph</p>
<hr>
<b>CSC</b>
<i>Computer</i>
<u>Education</u>
</body>
</html>

Text Formatting:

There are several tags to format the text.  The following example demonstrates the various ways of formatting the text in the HTML document.

<html>
<body>
<b>This is a bold text</b>
<br>
<i>This text is italics</i>
<br>
<u>This is a underline text</u>
<br>
<strong>This is a strong text</strong>
<br>
<em>This is a emphasized text</em>
<br>
<big>This is a big text</big>
<br>
<small>This is a small text</small>
<br>
h
<sub>2</sub>
o
<br>
5
<sup>3</sup>
<br>
<pre>This is a performated text</pre>
<br>
<font face=”Arial” color=”red” size=”10”>This is a red colored arial font text of size10</font>
</body>

<html>
<body>
<p>
<a href=”Firstpage.html”> Frist Page</a>
