HTML consists of tags and ordinary text. Tags begin and end with angle brackets (< >  , and they contain instruction that control the appearance and operation of the page. Everything outside the angle brackets is ordinary text.The first word inside the angle brackets specifies the type of tag: <p> is a paragraph tag, <img> is an image tag, and <table> is the tag that defines a table. Some tags, like <hr> (horizontal rule) and <br> (line break), stand alone. Many other tags occur in pair: one like <b> (bold) to start an effect, and another like </b> (cancel bold) to end it. The end tag always has the same identifier as the start tag, preceded by a slash (/). End tags have no attributes. Text in HTML tag isn’t case sensitive. The tags <p align=center> and < P ALIGN=CENTER> are perfectly equivalent, The following six lines of HTML appear in nearly all Web pages: <html> <head> </head> <body> </body> </html> • <html> and </html> mark the beginning and end of a Web page. • <head> and </head> mark the beginning and end of the head section, a block of code guaranteed never to appear to Web visitors. The head section typically contains entries such as: The page’s title (enclosed by <title> and </title> tags) Style sheets (enclosed by <style> and </style> tags) Scripts (enclosed by <script> and </script> tags) <meta> tags, which generally describe the page and provide keywords for Internet search engines. • <body> and </body>, which mark the Web page’s displayable area. A complete course in HTML, complete with listings, descriptions, and examples of every defined tag, is clearly beyond the scope of this article. Fortunately, hundreds of the other references are available to fill the vacuum. Visit your local bookstore and browse a number of them, searching for one or two that start at your level of expertise. There are also many HTML sites online. You can find them using your favorite search engine. It’s never a bad idea for any Web developer to have at least a working knowledge of HTML – how it works, and what its limitations are. But many web programmers and professional web designers prefer to work directly with the tags at least some of the time, because it give them more control over their pages. |
