HTML files are essentially text files that contain these elements:
|
Text that appears on the Web page. |
|
HTML tags that define document formatting and structure, and link to images and other HTML documents (Web pages). |
HTML tags are enclosed in brackets and look something like this:
<tag> affected text </tag>
Like the example above, most HTML tags use both an opening tag and a closing tag, which define the beginning and ending of the affected text. Some tags, however, need only an opening tag. Many tags allow you to add variables to control how the tag affects the selected range of text. For example:
<font color="blue">Fireworks</font>
This tag colors the word "Fireworks" blue.
