What Is HTML
HTML is a universal simple mark-up language that uses "tags" and "conventions" to mark text and images in a document so that it can be viewed on the Internet. It is not some difficult programming language and is quite easy to learn.

You do not need any special software to create a web page . You can use any text editor or word processor to create the HTML document. I used Notepad to create these articles.

What Are Tags
Tags are words enclosed in brackets that instruct the browser how to interpret or display the text or graphics in the page. Every HTML document starts off with the opening <HTML> tag and ends with the closing </HTML> tag.

In between the html brackets the document has two other sections, the header and the body.

The header tag contains info about the page that will not appear in the document when viewed with a browser.

< header>page info</header>

The other element of a web page is the "body". This is the main section of the page where your info,images,etc; will be found.

<body>text,grahics,etc</body>
