More detailed information about HTML |
| This is a tag | <TAG> | Notice that the tag is surrounded by greater than and less than signs. | |
| Tags usually come in pairs, with something in the middle | <TAG>Some text</TAG> | ||
| Notice the backslash in the second tag, which defines it as the "end" tag of a pair. | |||
| Tags sometimes have attributes. | <TAG attribute=value>Some text</TAG> | ||
| For example | <IMG SRC="http:/www.mysite.co.uk/picture.gif" ALT="Picture of me"> | ||
| ALT="Picture of me" is the attribute here. | |||
| The "HTML" tag tells the browser that it is dealing with an HTML document. |
<HTML> </HTML> |
| The document is then divided up into a "header" and a "body". |
<HTML> <HEAD> </HEAD> <BODY> </BODY> </HTML> |
| The header contains the title, which usually appears in the top margin of the browser. |
<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> Anywhere Surgery homepage </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> </BODY> </HTML> |
| Let's move on to the body of the document. We can now add a heading for the page in a font size between 1 (largest) and 6 (smallest). Lets go for the largest. |
<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> Anywhere Surgery homepage </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H1> Welcome to Anywhere Surgery </H1> </BODY> </HTML> |
| Now we can add some descriptive text, including the "paragraph" tag (note that this is one of the tags that does not have to be paired). |
<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> Anywhere Surgery homepage </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H1> Welcome to Anywhere Surgery </H1> Anywhere Surgery in Mytown is a practice of four doctors. We are committed to providing high quality care for all our patients. <P> Here is a list of the doctors who work at the surgery: </BODY> </HTML> |
| An "unordered list" is defined by the <UL></UL> pair of tags, and each list element has an (unpaired) <LI> tag. The browser draws in the bullet for you: |
