Tags Explained
I used a code to have the <<>html<>> tags show up. Reload if anything looks funny to you. As I learn more tags I will updated this file.
<<>HTML<>>...<<>/HTML<>>
These tags are at the beginning and at the end of every page. They show the editor that this is an HTML file. In other words: a web page. Use these tags only once on a page.
<<>HEAD<>>...<<>/HEAD<>>
These enclose the head of your web page. They are put directly after the first HTML tag. In it you can put the title of your page. These are to be used only once on every page.
<<>TITLE<>>...<<>/TITLE<>>
The title tags are inside the HEAD tags. Between them you put the title of your page, It will appear in your status bar below. Give a title to every page. Use these tags only once.
<<>BODY<>>...<<>/BODY<>>
The body tags enclose the contents of your page. The opening body tag comes immediately after the closing HEAD tag, the closing before the closing HTML tag. It is getting monotonous: only to be used once on a page. The body tag has a number of attributes, which can change text and background colors of your page. The <<>/body<>>tag should be at the end of your page just befor the closing<<>/HTML<>>tag.
Example:
<<>body bgcolor="black" text="white" alink="red" link="green" vlink="blue"<>>
Break Down: of each:
bgcolor="..."
background color (mostly used is black)
background="..."
background picture, (put in addy to background)
text="..."
text color (Any color)
link="..."
link color (Any Color)
vlink="..."
visited link color (Any Color)
alink="..."
active link color (should always be red. It lets a computer user know that they have successfuly click into the site.)
Bold text:
<<>B<>>...<<>/B<>>
Example: This is how it looks bold.
Italics:
<<>I<>>...<<>/I<>>
Example: This is what the Italics looks like.
<<>U<>>...<<>/U<>>
Underlined text.
This should be underlined. Yep it is LOL
<<>H#<>>...<<>/H#<>>
Header, or title. The # stands for 1 through 6 for size. one being the largest and 6 being the smallest.
<<>BR<>>
Line break Or picture break: Breaks off current line of text or Gif.
<<>P<>>
Paragraph: stops a string of text, skips a line and starts a new paragraph on a new line. I use it when I am using alot of <<>BR<>>
Example:<<>BR<>><<>P<>><<>BR<>><<>P<>>.
<<>UL<>>...<<>/UL<>>
UL: Indenting on the left. Can also be used more than once. Although only one <<>/UL<>> is needed. Use if you are using a background with a left side to it. It helps push your text and gifs over to the right side of page. It keep the stuff off the left side.
<<>IMG<>>
Image shows a picture on your page. Use only file types GIF or JPG, Usaly use no larger than 25 kB. For quicker loading times.
src="..."
Source, Is a file name of the picture. Be sure to use the proper filename and addy to the file.
border="#"
Border: line around the picture, the number specifies the width. Set it to zero, the border disappears.
width="#"
Width of the image, makes the page appear faster in your browser.
height="#"
Height of the picture, makes the page appear faster in your browser.
ALT="..."
Alternative text, to appear only if the picture is not shown, (IE) This discribes to a computer user what they are viewing. It gives a discription of the picture.Example: <<>Alt="two dogs running"<>>
<<>A<>>...<<>/A<>>
Anchor: For a clickable link, the most important tag, because it connects to other places on the web.
HREF="..."
The web address of the linked page. Specify the full Addy if you are linking to another server. Including the 'http://' And then the addy. It can also be used for email addresses ('mailto:'prefix);Example:<<>a href="mailto:sebbb@webtv.net"<>>BabyDoll<<>/a<>>Or combined with the IMG tag.
<<>HR<>>
A line divder looks like this.
Used on homepages
THE END: I will add more. As I use them or find them.
