If you choose, you can cut and paste the above, and use it as a template to
write your first web page.
Explaination:
The
<HTML></HTML>
tags open and close the document, and tell your browser that it is a hypertext
document (as opposed to a text, basic, or other type of file. )
The next set of tags,
<HEAD></HEAD>
open and close the header of the document. Remember this is the portion of a
document which includes the addressing (who is supposed to read it) and title
information. This brings us to our next point....
The
<TITLE></TITLE>
The Title should be short and descriptive of the document. For instance, if
you were writing a document about the joys of fishing, you might want to put:
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
The Joys of Fishing
</TITLE>
</HEAD>
Notice that the TITLE tags are sandwiched between the HEAD tags. This is done
so that the computer knows what order to process things in. All tags must have
a beginning and a closing tag (with very few exceptions). But the innermost
opening tag must also be the innermost closing tag.
Alternately, in large documents, it is possible to get lost, as to which tag
came first 100 lines ago. To keep this straight, it is good practice to INDENT
the innermost tags by a few spaces. Below is an example of this same code,
using the indentation practice.
<HTML>

<BODY>
</HTML>
The Joys of Fishing.
Fishing is a fun recreational sport....
