html tutorial #1 - basic tags
- To begin this html tutorial,
open up your text editor. I recommend
Boxer Text Editor, $59.99 USD, delivered via download only: the best text editor I have seen so far!
Do not use a word-processor such as MS Word because it
will include formatting tags such as end of line, tabs etc. For
advanced HTML, ASP, perl coding use a text editor, such as the Boxer Text Editor that tells you
line numbers so that you can fix up errors easily.

The beginning html tags will be <HTML> . All html code
must be included within < > tags. To end the assignation of
that code command put in a "/" which means "not" or "end of this
command". So, all code on a html page must start and end with
<HTML > </HTML >
- The next command of this html tutorial that needs to be at the
beginning of the page is the <HEAD > </HEAD > Code.
This section is an introductory section which is not part of the
body but may contain layout instructions, javascript functions, or
metatags that give information to search engines.
- So the initial coding contains four elements in our html
tutorial.
<HTML >
<HEAD >
</HEAD >
< /HTML >
- Now Put in TITLE tags
< TITLE>html tutorial</TITLE >
This title will come up at the very top of the page. Try it !
Now our code for the html tutorial includes :
<HTML >
< HEAD >
< TITLE >html tutorial < /TITLE >
< /HEAD >
< /HTML >
- < BODY > TAG
This tag contains the materials that will be shown on the browser
page.
It is the "body" of the page.
When you first open notepad, this html tutorial strongly suggest
you type in the follwing code immediately and save it, before doing
anything else.
< HTML >
< HEAD >
< TITLE > < /TITLE >
< /HEAD >
< BODY >
< /BODY>
< /HTML>
Thus endeth html tutorial the first part.

html tutorial #2 - paragraphs
All material that is to appear on the web page must be inserted
between the
< BODY > < /BODY > tags.
The next tag in our html tutorial is the < P > < /P >
tag. or PARAGRAPH tag.
It is used to signify the start and end of a paragraph.
Therefore, the code for 2 paragraphs would be thus( inserted
between the < BODY > < /BODY > tags.) :
<P>
This is the first paragraph .
It could possibly contain a number of sentences.
Just like the padding contained herein.
</P>
<P>
This is the Second paragraph.
There will be a gap of 2 lines between this
paragraph and the last one.
</P>
For a text editor, I recommend
