HTML can be added literally anywhere on your website, except it won't read as a language on a .txt file.
The first thing we talk about is HOW, do you make our first, HTML document, well all you need is the most useful tool on the computer....:a text editor.
add to you text editor this;
Code:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
This code is what you need for a basic .html file, the most important tag is the.... body tag, this is where you put all your headers, paragraphs, images ect. In the header tag you can add style types(CSS, Javascript ect), or title tags(<title>Title</title>. If you wan't to learn more about CSS(Cascading style sheet) click here.
So lets use some HTML tags so within the body tags lets put a nice page title and some text underneath it;
Code:
<h1>Welcome to my website</h1>
<br />
<p>This is a website to show that I can do HTML!.</p>
the tags used here are the paragraph tag (<p> heading tag (<h1> and break line tag (<br /> or <br> ).Now a website(a professional looking one) will contain links or hyperlinks to other pages on there website, or pages that are on another website, lets make a link to MMOCCFORUM; Code:
<a href="http://MMOCCFORUM.com">Click here to go to MMOCCforum</a>
The text between the > < will show purple, due to the fact you have already, obviously been on the site, but to users who are first timers, it will be a normal link to them.Now it's looks professional lets add a background colour! withing the body tags type Code:
<body bgcolor="green" />
now the background should be green, in my opinion it's dark green.Now we have learned the things we need, I'll run you through a list of things you can add into the Body tags and I will decribe them to you in HTML comments, (HTML comments (<!-- HELLO --> depict something important the editor has place in the HTML it doesn't effect anything but the space when editing it on the text editor.) Code:
<p></p> <!-- Paragraph tags -->
<b></b> <!-- bold tags -->
<u></u> <!-- underline tages -->
<s></s> <!-- strike out text tags -->
<br><br /> <!-- line breakers tags -->
<a href="domainname"></a> <!-- hyperlink tags -->
<body bgcolor="color"> <!-- change background color -->
<body background="imagesource.png"> <!-- change background image -->
These are just the short list of HTML codes you can use, you can advance your knowledge and learn CSS, where you can advance more and more on the HTM language .I hope this helped!
