HTML tags

Again and again…. I started  my third year students with an inspiring message. Telling them that the skills that they will be acquiring for this topic would be a good web page designer. Some of them fell that they cannot complete the topic because as I mentioned the learning course, most of them don’t have knowledge on the subject.

As the topic navigates, in my part as a teacher it is really a dificulty introducing a topic. “Constant practice makes Perfect”

Below are the introductory topics in html that I use in my third year class

Please fell free to post your comments regarding the topic.

With HTML you can create your own web site.
This tutorial teaches you everything about HTML.
HTML is easy to learn – You will enjoy it.

What is HTML?

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 Tags

HTML markup tags are usually called HTML tags

* HTML tags are keywords surrounded by angle brackets like <html>
* HTML tags normally come in pairs like <b> and </b>
* The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
* Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing tags

Lesson 1: Tags

Beginning and Ending Tags
Most html tags consist of a beginning tag and an ending tag. For example:

<HTML>   </HTML>

Notice the / in the second tag. All ending tags contain a /. This slash is very important, it tells the browser that what you wanted done has ended.

At the top of every html document before anything has been typed, put:

<HTML>

This signifies the start of your html document. At the end of your html document after everything has been typed, put:

</HTML>

This signifies the end of your html document. Notice the / in the second tag, always remember to put the / in the end tag, otherwise your page won’t turn out right. Under <HTML> comes this tag:
