In-Depth Information
In addition to the browser and server software, another important part of the WWW is Web pages. (All that
software is not much use if there aren't any pages to look at!) Simple Web pages are defined with a language called
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). HTML “tags” define the content and appearance of a Web page. Many HTML
tags are paired. This means that there is one tag that marks the beginning of a page area and another tag that marks
the end of the area. In addition, most tags start with a < and end with a >. For instance, a Web page begins with the
“start HTML” tag (
<HTML>
) and ends with an “end HTML” tag (
</HTML>
). In addition, each Web page is usually broken
up into a header area and the Web page body. The header section contains information about the page and the body
contains the actual content of the page. These sections are also defined by start and end tags.
Tutorial: Using HTML to Create a Web Page
