HTML - Overview

HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark Up Language, and it is what makes up the World Wide Web. html is not commonly found in a website creator unless the option is selected because most web designing tools use html but do not require you to write any to name a website or any html at all, as most use a WYSIWYG editor. html is still a valuable thing to know and it's pretty easy to learn too.

The Basics
Html is pretty basic, but there are a few things you should learn to better understand how different parts go together.

HTML - Project Stage 1

Every website has a body of html. Sometimes, it looks different on different websites to get better results but it's all the same html text.

The Address (example: http://Mywebsite.com) The Body of the page

What it will look like: The Body of the page

Ok now to explain all that

&lt;html&gt;, &lt;/html&gt;, and the others are called "tags". The opening tag, &lt;html&gt;, is the beginning of the website. These tags make up html documents and in whole the website so they are the heart of it, and inside the body tag is the page's content text, images, programs etc,.

Note: Anything that is not in tags will just become text
