Hi! I'm not sure of that is this so much of an tutorial, but anyways.
It's a ripoff from W3Schools.com, but saves your valuable 2 seconds of time needed to load the page
HTML is a language for describing web pages.
- HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
- HTML is not a programming language, it is a markup language
- A markup language is a set of markup tags
- HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages

HTML Documents = Web Pages
- HTML documents describe web pages
- HTML documents contain HTML tags and plain text
- HTML documents are also called web pages
The purpose of a web browser (like Internet Explorer or Firefox) is to read HTML documents and display them as web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content of the page:
Example ExplainedCode:<html> <body> <h1>My First Heading</h1> My first paragraph</p> </body> </html>
The text between <html> and </html> describes the web page
The text between <body> and </body> is the visible page content
The text between <h1> and </h1> is displayed as a heading
The text between
and </p> is displayed as a paragraph

Editing HTML
Usually, it's best to use an simple text-editing program (Like NotePad)
However, professional web developers often prefer HTML editors like FrontPage or Dreamweaver, instead of writing plain text. Notepad++ is also a good scripting/coding editor, and it's free!

Creating Your Own Test Web
If you want to create a test web on your own computer, just copy the 2 files below to your desktop.
(Right click on each link, and select "save target as" or "save link as")
mainpage.htm
page1.htm
After you have copied the files, you can double-click on the file called "mainpage.htm" and see your first web site in action.

HTM or HTML extension?
When you save an HTML file, you can use either the .htm or the .html extension. We use .htm in our examples. It is a habit from the past, when the software only allowed three letters in file extensions.
With new software it is perfectly safe to use .html.
