Creating
Your Own Web Pages from Scratch: The One Thing You Need to Know
A Web page has essentially two types of information:
(1) information that you want viewers to see, and (2) code that tells
the Web browser how to format that information.
Viewers generally do not see the code, unless they click on the View
menu
at the top of the screen in Netscape and choose Document Source.
(The process may differ with other Web browsers.) This will show the code
used to create a page.
HTML code appears in brackets < > to distinguish it from the information
you want to display for viewers. Most codes appear in pairs, one part showing
where the coding starts <code> and one
showing where it ends </code>. For example,
if I were to write
I like <i>Absolam, Absolam!</i> more
than most any other book
the book title would appear in italics when viewed through Netscape:
I like Absolam, Absolam! more than most any other book
That's really the main thing to remember: Codes appear in brackets and
generally surround the text you want to format. The key, then, is to remember
some basic codes (and learn where to find other codes) so you can format
your own page.
