ABCs of HTML
Open Notepad or your favorite text editor and get
ready to make a template. Here are some basic codes
to help you create a your first web page.
The top of your HTML codes:
ABCs of HTML CODES
That will give you: White background until your
background (jpg or gif) is loaded, with Black text.
Your link will be blue , your viewed link will be
dark red and your active link with be Fuchsia. You
can change this to colors you like.
For the name or title of your page if you type this:
Name of Page
You will get this:
Name of Page
This is h1
This is h2
This is h3
This is h4
This is h5
This is h6
Here are some samples of base size text. These are
the sizes you will use in writing your HTML page.
Most use 3 or 4:
If you want something bold you type: this is bold
print .
If you want to underline you type: this is to
underline
If you want to use italics you type: this is
italics
You can also do a combo of all:
Bold, italics and underlined .
Instead of using the italics ITALICS you may
want to use the emphasis
you get the same effect.
Although, I must say I cannot tell any difference in
the two, the books say that emphasis renders
a bolder text.
One code I've never found a use for but someone
probably has is the strike code.
It is:
This is the Strike Code
and here are the results.
I do not know which browsers do and do not support
this code.
C O L O R S You can change the color of your text and
your pages. If you have a dark background, you should
use a light color text. Or if you have a pale
background you can pick a darker color. Here are some
examples and coding of different colors.
For a more complete listing of color codes please
visit The Web Color Index or, for those who can
handle javascript, try Gypsy-J's color page.

Alignment Tags:
These can get complicated, but the most common is the
center
Since this is supposed to be the very simplest of
html codes I am not going into other aligment tags.
Horizontal Lines:
Plain lines are done using a
tag. When you type
in
the default will be the full width of your
screen. If you want to change the default follow the
examples below:

Making Lists:
To create an Ordered List you need to use
tags.
- number one
- number two
- number three
Your list will look like this:
number one
number two
number three
Create an Unordered or Bulleted list: using the
tags
Your list will look like this:
Red
Blue
Green

This tag is now obsolete, but some people find it
useful.
Breaks and Paragraphs:
For a cause a break in the line you type
And the next line will print.
If you want to create a new paragraph you type
And it will skip a line (leaving it blank) and start
a new line.
To Make Things Blink:
Blinking does not work with all browsers so it will
not blink for every one. I believe that it is an
annoying Netscape trick.
You type .
To Make Things Scroll:
The Marquee Code is only compatible with the MSIE
browser. A Marquee is scrolling text across a page.
It is eyecatching, but once again, not supported by
all browsers.
Users of MSIE will see scrolling text across the
page. Netscape users will just see the text. It will
not scroll, but if you center it,
it
should look fine with either browser.
Create a link:
To create a link to another page or to another
person's page you type:
Click Here for
Avsia's home page.
Click here for Avsia's home page
Putting graphics on your page:
The first thing to do is upload them to your ISP.
Please do not link to the graphic
Always upload it to your site.
There are several reasons for this but the two
important ones are:
doing it steals their bandwidth and
if they remove or rename the graphic, yours will show
up broken.
The html code or tag to add a graphic is:
The height and width tags help it to load faster. You
can determine the size of your graphic by viewing it
in a graphics editor.
If you want your gif to be in the center of your
page, you type:
Always use the alt tags for graphics and explain what
the graphic represents, since this makes the page
more accessible for people who are the vision
impaired.
Create a mailto:
John Doe
Drop a note to John Doe
Remember before you end your page you must close the
body and html tags that you opened when you started
your page.
These are just a few of the basics of html code.
