What is HTML?
HTML
(Hyper Text Markup Language) is a language that is used to put
together web pages, but it has other uses such as in fancy Emails
or Ebooks. It works with a browser such as Internet Explorer or
Netscape and uses symbols called tags to instruct the browser
how to lay out text, graphics, sound etc. on a page.
There
are tags to embolden text, choose the font type, colour it and
much more, but a powerful property is that it can direct the browser
to jump to another part of the page or to another page at the
click of a mouse. This is the Hyper Text part and it is what makes
it so useful.
You've
seen this many times. You move the mouse pointer on an underlined
'link' or a graphic, and it changes to a pointing hand. Click
the mouse and you're transported elsewhere. Magic!
HTML
decides how you see this page; you will see it slightly differently
with various browsers. It doesn't provide all the bells and whistles
so beloved of page designers though, just a static display. The
fancy animations and the like are done by other languages that
are hosted by HTML.
Learn
HTML
It
is quite easy to learn HTML , at least initially, but unlike learning
most things, you start getting results straight away; it's very
interesting and great fun!. Now, I could start in right now to
teach you about it but others have done it already, and probably
better than I could.
So
I'll hand you over to Joe Barta, who has written probably the
best and most comprehensive webpage course ever and has given
me permission to use it. It's entertaining, funny, and FREE!
There's
a lot of meat on it so my advice, as always, is to take it in
easy stages. Once you've started the course you learn a bit, try
a bit. In no time you'll feel on top. Then you can use the course
as a reference as you go along.

Some
of the other uses of HTML
1)
Making web pages or complete websites.
2) Making eBooks.
3) Writing fancy Emails.
On
other pages you will find that there are other ways of producing
HTML that don't seemingly need any knowledge of the language but
don't be fooled. Sooner or later at least a basic knowledge of
HTML will be needed.
Hey,
ever seen a guy with the hood of his car up, scratching his head.
Putting the hood up is his sum total knowledge of auto maintenance.
Yet you can see why he has a problem immediately; one of the battery
leads is off. Basic knowledge; but so necessary sometimes.
Start NOW to learn HTML then build a single page of your own.
Take a look at the next page to find out how. Try it! you'll like
it.
