How to write simple web pages Basics to Writing HTML Documents HTML, HyperText Mark-up Language, is the underlying code that web browsers interpret to display web pages. This is a relatively easy language to understand and learn. For WordPerfect users, think of this language as being similar to Reveal Codes. The language uses tags to illustrate how text will be handled. Let us discuss briefly how tags work.
Most tags have an opening and closing tag.
Only the text between the opening and closing tags will be bolded. If you forget to close the tag everything thereafter will be bolded. The first item to be learned when creating HTML documents is to tell the browser that this document is created for web use. This should always be the first item on your HTML page. Information contained in them are stored in the title bar of browsers as well as saved to the bookmark's page.
