Explanation of HTML code.
Every HTML document always start with the tag
<html>
and these tags are predefined under the W3C consortium.
When we write <html> tag in the start of our document browser
will consider this document as HTML document. After that we have started the
<head>
tag this tag contains the information about the title of your web page.
<title> tag is use to tell the browser about the title of web page and this tag
always placed in between the <head> tag and after the <head> we start the
<body>
tag this tag contain the whole content of your web page visible on browser.
</html>
is closing tag of our web page this tag tells browser that HTML documents ends here
after that if we write any content that will not be on display.
Some other tags like <br>, <b> etc you will learn later.
Extension of HTML file?
An HTML page can be saved as .html or htm as its extension. Some of old backward software are
still use the three letters for a file extension to process it so
mostly web pages you will found as three letters for there extensions.
Its up to you, to choose .htm or .html. Our suggestion is to use .htm
only because of tradition.
HTML Editors.
The best way for the bingers is to use Notepad for HTML files creation.
After a complete knowledge we suggest you to use the Microsoft Front Page
or Dreamweaver instead of notepad. Because these tools build HTML tags
automatically and close them all properly and graphically these tools are
very easy to make a complete website. However, if you want to be a skillful
Web developer, we strongly recommend that you use a plain text editor to
learn your primer HTML.
