Mark Up Tags
In HTML, mark up Tags are used in an HTML document to make the text do what you want it to.
HTML
At the very beginning of any HTML document you must type <HTML> and then at the end you must type </HTML>. It tells your browser that it is viewing a HTML document.
Head
The Heading is the first part of your HTML document. You place the title here. Start the head with <HEAD> and end it with </HEAD>.
Title
Title is what is displayed at the top of the browser's screen. The title should be entered in the HEAD of the document and is entered like this <TITLE>The Page title</TITLE>.
Body
The Body is the main Part of any HTML document. This is where you add your pages text. Body is entered like this <BODY> You add all the text you want and when you're done, time for you to add </BODY>.
Headings
Headings are the title of individual paragraphs or parts of a page. There are 6 different levels of headings, 1 being the most prominent. Headings are add like this: <H#>text of heading<h#>.
Paragraphs
Paragraphs are formed by adding a <P> to the beginning and </P> to the end.
Lists
There are 2 types of lists, numbered and unnumbered. The code for a list is as follows:
<UL>Title of list
<LI>item
<LI>item 2
<LI>item 3
</UL>
That will produce this form
Title of list
- item
- item 2
- item 3
For a numbered list, replace the UL's with OL's. An example of a number list is
3 things
- Cat
- Dog
- Goat
