SHORT DESCRIPTION OF HTML...

As i was saying HTML is a programming language
that is use to structure a piece of information and been interpreted by a browser to give you what you want... google more

A Browser: This is the main machine in web design that interpret html language and bring it out nice looking.
so to not make it confusing html[/b]is like tv antenna having the information while[b]A browser is like television interpreting the information
if you are confuse pls ask questions or do a google research about it.

<html>
<body>
<h1>MyFirst
Heading</h1>
<p>Myfirst
paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>

this is a simple html command you can copy and paste in your text editor and at the top left on a computer click File >> save As
and when a new window appear choose the path to save your folder..
NOTE: save the page as "myfirstpage.html" without quotes
and "choose all files" underfile type.
This is very nesscary..
if it is not clear ask qiestions or google "saving an html document"

Now use your file manager to navigate to where you save your file and click on it.
if every tin is correct
it will load out in your web browser and display:

My first paragraph.

alternatively open your browser and click file>>>>open then search your firstpage.html orin the name you use and u should get d result above.

HTML could be considered a programming language cause it's meet all function of language...
but instead it was said to be a mark up language cause was only used for structuring...

Anyway i wud say you are right in the scenes dat html alone might not meet wat is called web programming requirement nowady
but trust me then in dose days it does...
Anyway thank yoi...

Re: HTML For Absolute Beginner by stanliwise(m): 9:31pm On Apr 18, 2013
ok now i need to explain dose syntax you saw above
First
html is a mark up language and now i need to explain it
each tags is meant for a specific function..
NOTE : html tag means anything that has an opening and a closing bracket e.g <p>
The principle guiding this mark up is that as an element open it is accompany by another closing element tag. i.e
<open tag></closing tag>
make sure you don't forget this principle.
so look at the code:
<p>myFirst paragraph</p>
it is very correct because it obey the principle.
don't worry what <p> tag means becos i wud explain it later.
all we concentrate is the rules.

now if you hav scramble then fine so let get on...
to mix two yag together we do it like this
<a>wow<b>hi</b></a>
this might luk scrabby but don't worry i teach you well.

What u saw above is called tag inside another tag

<a> tag was first called in the example above but we didn't close it instead we started another new tag and the funniest thing is dat the new tag was closed b4 the first tag..

yes dis is correct and it is principle number 2. cause <a> tag is like a big box while <b> tag is a small box inside a tag so the <b> tag is to be closed first b4 the bigger box is closed. that how it works.
so you can have as many smaller box as you want in another box as far the smaller tag is closed first.
NOTE: <a> tag and <b> tag are not html tags i just used it as an example.

Re: HTML For Absolute Beginner by stanliwise(m): 7:45am On Apr 19, 2013
For any html page that is saved .html extension
it must begin with => <html>
it must end with => </html>
e.g
<html></html>
so wat ever you what in page it must be inside this tag.
cos it's just like html biggest box.

now this, I don't understand. you mean it's losing features?

No HTML is not losing features but instead it is becoming one of the strongest language.e.g HTML 5 is the lastest version now.
Why i said it was that in dose day there were notin like forum, chat,download etc.
so only HTML was used and html
was the only language for web programming. But now people need chat, forum, download & upload, shopping cart.
So other language like javascript,php,css asp,Jsp,Mysql was now made as an extension to do dat work and NOT AS A SUBSTITUE for HTML.
WITHOUT HTML IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DISPLAY ANYTHING ON A BROWSER
