Choose a location, preferably a new folder to save the file to. Finally, choose a name for the file and end the name with a .html. Click save and you have an instant html file. The browser cannot recognize a file as an html if it doesn't have the proper skeleton or tags. Understanding html tags Tags are special codes understood by the browser to display or perform certain tasks.
Most tags come in pairs.
Paired tags should not be overlapped or it would confuse the browser. However, not all tags require closing tags. Also, tag names do not necessarily need to be all in capital letters. From there, you can change the file's contents. After changing the file, save it and reload or refresh the browser.
