Copy all eleven lines of this source code.
This is a simple and complete HTML page.
Then, from this page, find the source code that you need, copy it, and paste it
into the body of your index file ... make changes as needed to the code on your own site

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) uses bracketed tags (commands)
HTML generators are also available to set up webpages (Microsoft Frontpage)
We will be setting up these pages from scratch ... line by line.
LINE BREAK - the <br> or <br/> command (not always case-sensitive, but best to keep it lower-case)
this is the start of the first lesson. this is the first line of the text. text will wrap around unless otherwise instructed by html commands. It doesn't know when to stop unless otherwise commanded. Why does it not space these lines? It does not recognize spacing in the code (white space means nothing), it needs to have commands.
this is the start of the lesson.
this is the first line with a break.
text will obey the commands that are in the brackets.
These codes (instructions) within the brackets are HTML codes.
may use the BREAK command
in succession for extra line spacing.
DISPLAY IT LIKE YOU TYPE IT !!!
If you want to display exactly what is typed onto the webpage, use the <pre> and </pre> command between
the text to tell it to display it as it was typed.
These next few lines are preformatted text
White space is recognized and respected
No special codes needed for indents or breaks, etc.
This uses monotype text
PARAGRAPH commands: <p> command
Paragraph command is similiar to break command. Automatic break inserted at start of new Paragraph. Closing command </p> for the paragraph command is not necessary in html, but necessary in other languages
This is the second paragraph with closing command
This is the third paragraph with no closing command - same results
It would be best to keep in the habit of using the close command
IMPORTANT:
Most commands will require that you insert a closing command.
This closing command indicates when the command is to be terminated
Example: I want to make only one word in this line to be BOLD.
The closing command, tells where the command is to end
Example: I want to make only one word in this line to be BOLD
Without the closing command, everything is affected until it finds the closing command ->
Start tag in front, and Close tag at end
Insert a Horizontal Rule <hr> for spacer/divider
A few horizontal rules below:
BOLD and ITALICS
For BOLD text, use the "b" and "/b" commands.
or use STRONG commands.
For Italics text, use the "i" commands.
or use Emphasis commands.
Use in tandem: Strong and Emphasized
Use in tandem: Bold and Italicized
BLOCKQUOTES
Use blockquote commmand for blocks of text. This is especially good for separating long quotes. Use blockquote commmand for blocks of text. This is especially good for separating long quotes.

TEXT PLACEMENT
Flush left is automatic
For flush right, use the paragraph command with alignment qualifier.
This command makes the text flush right. All text after this command will be aligned to the right. To Stop flush right, use the paragraph close command.
This command makes the text centered. All text after this command will be aligned to the left. To Stop this command, use the paragraph close command.
following text centered until the close command.
You can use this command at any time
without make a new paragraph.
Use the break command to break up the text into manageable lines.
