HTML Basics


Behind Every Page...

Writing an HTML document is like writing a business letter -- a format is followed, and certain components must be included.

The following code is called the shell. It is the basis for every webpage. NOTE: You must put "<" around the beginning and end of each word.

HTML
HEAD
TITLE /TITLE
/HEAD
BODY
/BODY
/HTML

The entire webpage will be created within this shell!

What did that last part say?

What does each shell piece mean?
