Lesson 2
The HTML Tags
In order to format an HTML document, we use HTML tags. The HTML tag is case- insensitive, <HTML> and <html> are the same. Most tags must start with an open tag and an end with a closing tag. For example: <HI>Heading 1</H1>. However, some of the tags such as <IMG> do not required a closing tag. Here is the summary of some basic tags: TAG <<html></html><head> </head> DISCRIPTION Tags which create the HTML document. Tags which denote the first part of the HTML document. Tags which define the title of the web page. Tags which define the main contents of the HTML document. Tags that indicate the headings. There are 6 headings, from h1 to h6. Tags that display bold text. <title></title> <body></body> <!>h]> <<b></b> <i></i>
Tags that display italic text.
4X/4 <br>
Tags that underline the text.
Tag that indicate line break. No closing tag is required here. Open the NOTEPAD and Start writing <html> <head>
