HTML - easy: Build your first web page

previous

HTML seems like a huge mountain when you first start. Remembering to write your tags correctly and understanding the notation can be extremely difficult. However once you've started using it it will only get easier and easier!

Let's start off by looking at tags. What are the tags? Why do they work?

The tags on a web page are used to define what a particular object on the page is. As we have already looked at on the last slide, we can denote a paragraph by using the tags:

<p> </p>

There are many tags in HTML.
Think of your HTML document as an A4 piece of paper. When you write a heading, you will write it in big at the top of the page. When you draw an image you will know it is an image.

However computers don't know the difference between a heading and an image, so you have to tell them explicitly.
