HTML
HTML stands for the Hypertext Markup Language. HTML is the major language
of the Internet and is composed of tags. HTML tags are always enclosed
in angle-brackets (< >) and are case-insensitive.
Tags typically occur in begin-end pairs. These pairs are in the form
<tag> ... </tag>
where the <tag> indicates the beginning of a tag-pair, and the </tag>
indicates the end.
The HTML tags are usually translated by web browsers and displayed as
a web pages. Browsers ignore all of the formatting in your HTML document
including white space. The following is an example:
Information Technology
IT Handbook.
Would look like this in a web browser:
Information Technology IT Handbook.
If you want any formatting in your page at all you have to give the browser
instruction by using HTML tags.
The following is an example of the structure of all web pages:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Welcome to kingston University London</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
ICT Services provides assistants to all the staff and students.
</BODY>
</HTML>
All HTML documents are enclosed within <HTML>, </HTML> tags
and contain a head and a body.
The head contains information about the document.
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Web developer's Library</TITLE>
</HEAD>
It is used to display a title of your document at the top of your browser
window. Both the opening and the closing tags go between the head tags.
Everything in between the title tags will be displayed on this top line.
An important thing to remember is that the title is displayed on window
border NOT in the body of your web page.
Another tag that can be added in the head is a <META> tag. It is
used to help search engines index your page. The value of CONTENT should
be the keywords you want your page indexed under.
<META NAME="keyword" CONTENT="HTML, Javascript,
script, stylesheet">
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="Web Developer's
Library ">
Stylesheet tag and Javascript can be added in the head of document.
Using the example from before the HTML would look like:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
Welcome to Koodesign
</TITLE>
<META NAME="keyword" CONTENT="stylesheets, css, HTML,
Javascript">
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="koodesign">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/style/koostyle.css">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
if (window != top) top.location.href = location.href;
// End -->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
The body tag will display all your text, images, tables ............
</BODY>
</HTML>
