General Guidlines

"Tracking changes in HTMl is easy if you know were to go to stay in the know."

Tags and Atributes

HTML is acually a logical language. Even a novice can look at standard code and discern some meaning from it. HTML is made up of two primary features: tags and attributes.

Tags - a tag is the HTML command that allerts the browser that a new type of information needs to be interpreted - a name in between two brackets:

<body> ... and the closing tag: </body>

Atributes
Within tags there are commands that give a specific tag an attribute. Most tags support multiple attributes.

<body bgcolor="red" text="white" link="blue">

Every HTMl page has spceific tags that absolutely must be in place. Beyond that, there are standards in terms of page formatting and linking.

<html> ... </html> - page is about to begin or end
<head> ... </head> - includes header information
<title> ... </title> - allowing to name the page
<body> ... </body> - determines basic attributes of a page

Anchors

Anchors allow you to link to a specific page or spot within a page. An anchor requires the anchor tag, <a>, along with a reference attribute, href, and closing tag.

<a href="MyLink.htm">Here is my page.</a>

Standard Linking - there are two methods:

Absolute linking. This method requires the using of a complete URL in the reference. Used when linking to a page that resides on another page.
Relative linking. Linking to a page that resides on same server

Text Formatting

Simple text formatting, such as bold, italic, and underline can be achieved with these easy tags:

... Bolds text
... Italicizes text
... Underlines text
