Structure tags set up the necessary sections and specify that the document
is indeed an HTML document.
In each HTML document, you must have two sections: the body section and
the head section, in that order.
<html> is an ending structure tag.
The ending tag tells a Web browser when certain formatting or sections
end.
Web space is a storage area where you keep your Web site.
Basic formatting tags are HTML tags that allow you to specify formatting
for text.
The three most commonly used basic HTML formatting tags are font color,
size, and type.
If you were to code the following: <em>Management Information
Systems</em>, the words “Management Information Systems”, would be
displayed in bold and underlined text.
If you want nine blank lines, you must insert the <br> tag nine times.
Heading tags are HTML tags that make certain information stand out on
your Web site.
<h1> starts the formatting for the smallest size of heading.
If you start a heading tag with <h1> and then don’t ever provide an ending
To adjust the color of your text, you use the <color></color> tags.
Using <font color = “red”> in your HTML document right after the <body>
tag will result in a Web site with red text.
To adjust the size of your text, you should use the <font size> tag whose
format is <font size = “font size”>.
Unlike the color of the text, you cannot adjust the size of all the text on your
Web site.
If you want to change the background color of your Web site, you would use
the <color></color> tags.
<body bgcolor = “green”>
A link is clickable text or an image that takes you to another site or page on
the Web.
The general tag format for a link in an HTML document is <html = “address
or file name”>text to appear on screen</a>.
If you want the viewers of your Web site to be able to click on a link that
prompts either to open the file or to save it to disk, you use the same HTML
tag as that for an HTML document except that you provide the filename in
quote marks after the equal sign (=) instead of a Web site address.
The basic tag format for inserting an image or photo to your Web site is
<img src = “filename.extension”>.
<img src = “filename.extension”>.
To change the size of an image, you would insert the height and width
parameters into the image tag.
Pixels are the smallest display elements on a screen.
If you want to center some text on your Web page, you would use the
<middle></middle> tags.
To use an image and create a textured background, you use the <body
background> tag.
The </li> tag ends the numbered list and you use the <ol> tag for each
item in the list.
If you want each line in your list to begin with a, b, c, and so on, you would
use the tag <ol type = i>.
To create unnumbered lists, you use the tags <ul> and </ul>.
