Basic Building
Blocks
It's possible to write a basic readable web page with just a few HTML
codes. They are also the essential elements of even the most elaborate
pages.
Note that all code may be entered with capitals or small letters. In
the examples below, xxxxxx represents the content you will write.
I.
Header (must go at the top of every web page)
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>xxxxxx</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
II. Headlines:
| <H1>xxxxxx</H1>
| largest heading
|
| <H2>xxxxxx</H2>
| next largest
|
| <H3>xxxxxx</H3>
| next largest
|
| <H4>xxxxxx</H4>
| approximately the same as
boldface
|
| <H5>xxxxxx</H5>
| bold, but the size is
smaller than the standard font size
|
| <H6>xxxxxx</H6>
| too tiny to be read on most browsers
|
III. Paragraphs:
Begin every paragraph with <P>
IV. Fonts:
<STRONG>xxxxxx</STRONG> boldface
<B>xxxxxx</B> boldface
<EM>xxxxxx</EM> italics
<I>xxxxxx</I> italics
V. Links:
<a href="http://XXX.XX.XXX/XXXXX/XXX">xxxxx</a>
(where the capitol X's are the full address of the page you're
linking to and the small x's are the words the reader will click on to
make the link; these words will appear in blue and underlined on your
page.)
VI. Bottom: All web pages end with
<CENTER> <ADDRESS>http://XXX.XXX/XXX/XXX</ADDRESS>
</CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>
(Where the X's represent the URL of your page.)
