What is
HTML?
HTML is an ASCII text file that contains
embedded HTML tags. On a UNIX server, it
typically has a filename extension of .html .

In general, the HTML tags are used to identify
the structure of the document and to identify
hyperlinks (to be highlighted) and their
associated URLs.

HTML identifies the structure of the document
and it suggests the layout of the document. The
display capabilities of the Web browser
determine the appearance of the HTML
document on the screeen.
The most basic element in the HTML document is the
paragraph. The Web browser flows all the contents of the
paragraph together from left to right and from top to bottom
given the current window or display size. This is
called autoflowing. How you break lines in that paragraph in
the HTML is irrelevant when that page is displayed by a Web
browser.The Web browser wraps anything that doesn't fit on
the current line, putting it on the next line. For example, a
paragraph that displays six lines long on an 8-inch wide
window rewraps to be about 12 lines long if the user resizes
the Web browser window to be half as wide. This is
called autowrapping.

Your document will be read by both graphical and character-
based Web browsers. Furthermore, there will be display
differences with graphical Web browsers given different screen
resolutions. So just because one browser breaks a line at one
place, that doesn't mean others will do so at the same place.
Just remember that on the Web, you live in a world that is left-
justified and flows from top to bottom.

Using HTML you can identify:

The title of the document
The hierarchical structure of the
document with header levels and
section names
Bulleted, numbered, and nested lists
Insertion points for graphics
Special emphasis for key words or
phrases
Preformatted areas of the document
Hyperlinks and associated URLs
These things all depend on the browser, which may allow the user
to control them.

HTML cannot control the:

Typeface used for any document
component

Point size of any specific font

Width or height of the screen

Centering, spacing, or line breaks of
information, except in preformatted
text.
Background, foreground, or highlight
colors

These things all depend on the browser, which may allow the user
to control them.
HTML Tag Syntax

HTML tags are encapsulated within
less-than (<) and greater-than (>)
brackets. Some of the tags are single-
element tags that can stand by
themselves. These are referred to as
standalone tags. The syntax is
simple:<tag>

The most common standalone tag is
<P>, which ends a paragraph.
Other tags are used in pairs. The beginning tag
tells the Web browser to start the tag function
and the ending tag tells the Web browser to
stop.
The ending tag is created by adding a forward
slash (/) to the beginning tag. The syntax is:
<tag>object</tag>
Document Construction Guidelines
Now let's look at the three tagging pairs used to create
the highest level of structure in an HTML document:
<HTML> entire HTML document </HTML> <HEAD>
document header information </HEAD> <BODY> body of
the HTML document </BODY> The following is a skeletal
HTML document that shows the required nesting of these
three tagging pairs:<HTML> <HEAD> Head elements
</HEAD> <BODY> Body elements and content </BODY>
</HTML> Remember that physical layout in an HTML
document, like indentation and line breaks, is
meaningless to Web browsers. So you can format your
HTML according to your own preferences.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head> <title>Paragraph Example</title> </head>
<body>
<p>Here is a first paragraph of text.</p>
<p>Here is a second paragraph of text.</p>
<p>Here is a third paragraph of text.</p>
</body>
</html>
