CSCI 101 - Week 11
Intro to HTML

HTML = Hyper Text Markup Language

HTML is the language of the World Wide Web. It is used to create all web pages. The HTML language has a syntax, just like spoken languages. Most of the content of an HTML file is just normal text. That text is marked up with "tags" that tell the Web Browser how to display the information.

For example, the <b> tag tells the browser to start making text bold. The </b> tag tells the browser to stop bolding text. So, if the HTML file contains this line:
       Hello <b>Mom</b>. How is Dad?
The browser would display:
       Hello Mom. How is Dad?

HTML Tags demonstrated in class today include:
<b>
<i>
<P>
<br>
<center>
<head>
<title>
<body>
<h1>
<h6>

Here is the basic format of all HTML documents: 

     <html>
    
    <head>
       <title> Example </title>
    </head>

    <body>
       All the web page content goes here.
    </body>

    </html>
