HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, a formatting language for creating hypertext documents on the World Wide Web. Basic HTML is easily self taught. Several resources exist on the Web, including guides and tutorials. These are some of our favorite sites. In addition to resources on the web, the College offers beginner courses in Web publishing each semester.
Courses often cover HTML and editors.
Learning Opportunities Editors Explained Editors such as Frontpage, Netscape Composer, and Hotdog allow you to design HTML documents visually, as if you were using a word processor, instead of writing the markup tags in a plain-text file. It is useful, though, to know enough HTML to code a document before you determine the usefulness of an editor. Copyright College of Charleston. All Rights Reserved.
