Example Explained
What you just made is a
skeleton html document. This is the minimum required information for a web document
and all web documents should contain these basic components. The first tag in
your html document is <html>. This tag tells your browser that this is
the start of an html document. The last tag in your document is </html>.
This tag tells your browser that this is the end of the html document.
Ø The
text between the <head> tag and the </head> tag is header
information. Header information is not displayed in the browser window.
Ø The
text between the <title> tags is the title of your document. The
<title> tag is used to uniquely identify each document and is also
displayed in the title bar of the browser window.
Ø The
text between the <body> tags is the text that will be displayed in your
browser.

The Doctype
This is known as the
doctype2 (short for Document Type Definition). It must be the first item on a
web page, appearing even before any spacing or carriage returns.
HTM or HTML Extension?
When you save an HTML
file, you can use either the .htm or the .html extension. The .htm extension comes
from the past when some of the commonly used software only allowed three letter
extensions. It is perfectly safe to use either .html or .htm, but be
consistent. test.htm and test.html are treated as different files by the
browser.
How
to View HTML Source?
A good way to learn HTML is to look at how other
people have coded their html pages. To find out, simply click on the View
option in your browsers toolbar and select Source or Page Source. This will open
a window that shows you the actual HTML of the page. Go ahead and view the
source html for this page.
