HTML codes and tags

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is the language used to create web pages: (scroll down to see codes and tags.)

HTML is composed of tags which are always enclosed in angle-brackets (<>).

<tag 1>
	<tag 2>
	</tag 2>
</tag 1>

With a few exceptions, tags usually occur in pairs, opening and closing (closes with a slash tag), e.g, <tag> anything you wish to put here...content, text, image, etc. </tag>

In the table below are some of the most commonly used tags. (Unfortunately, some older browsers may not show the tags, and some may even convert them to HTML)

The HTML codes on this page are background codes and the actual codes on the Content page which is seen by the viewer.

Content includes text, graphic and data.

All that you need to know to spice up your pages with color, bold, italic, tables, can be found on this site.

I believe that Content, and I stress Content, is most important because most of the other behind the scenes codes like the header, title, keyword, description can be done for you.

It does not matter whether HTML codes are written in capital or common letters but many people prefer capital letters because it seems easier to detect errors.

Just by looking at the tags above and how to use them will be sufficient for most people.

Also to be added shortly is another page including HTML codes for tables, images, and a more detailed explanation about building a page with The HEAD tags which contain all of the document's header information such as the Title and Description tags.

There are many behind the scenes HTML tags and codes for building your web page but the actual heart of your web page is that part that is seen by your visitors or readers.

This part contains the “Content ” which includes text, graphics, etc.

There are web site building tools to do everything else.
