The html lessons begin: Part 1
December 26, 2004
So, yes. I have been reviewing html code today and have learned much.
For instance - escape_code:
<: <
>: >
©: ©
&: &
": "
Other things as well:
- <html> </html>: obviously, this is very important
- <head> </head> and <title> </title>: See "Spark's Website of DOOOOOM" in title bar
- <body> </body>: atributes to it such as "BGCOLOR", "TEXT", and "LEFTMARGIN"
- BGCOLOR = "#hexadecimal_value" : Sets the background color. Mine is #505050
- TEXT = "#hexadecimal_value" : Sets the text color. All text on this page is #FFFFFF
- LEFTMARGIN = pixel_amount : Sets the left margin size. This only works in IExplorer, I think. I've got margins set to 200
- LINK = "#hexadecimal_value" : Sets the color of links to other sites. #FFDD00 on this page.
- ALINK = "#hexadecimal_value" : Sets the color of an active link to other sites. #DDFF00 on this page.
- VLINK = &qout;#hexadecimal_value" : Sets the color of visited links to other sites. #FF9900 on this page.
Here's an example of a link. This will take you to my account on DeviantArt. I recommend this site to everyone. There is lots of cool art work to see.
- Unordered, ordered, and definition lists: <ul> <li> </ul>, <ol> <li> </ol>, and <dl> <dt> <dd> </dl> These are turning out to be VERY handy!
- <b> </b>, <u> </u>, and <i> </i>: Bold, underlined, and italics respectively
- <pre> </pre> : Preformated text. What you place between the tags appears "verbatum" in the web browser
- <tt> </tt> : Type-written text. I like this font. I'll keep it
- <hr> : Yeay for horizontal rules! Especilly ones with the ability to change the "SIZE" and "WIDTH"
- <p> </p> : paragraph... yeah, yeah, yeah. Who has time for those?
- <h#> : Headings--they make handy titles when centered. *note: # = a number 1 - 6*
- <!-- --> : Comments make the world go round. If you don't comment in your html or code of any kind, may the good Lord have mercy on your soul and strike you down where you stand
- <font> </font> : I've used the color attribute of this to make the hexadecimal codes for my links the color they represent. I could go into detail and such about "COLOR" but I'd rather not
There is much more that I have learned, mainly because of this
site, but time is approaching dinner
very quickly. Over the next couple of weeks between procrastinating and working, I plan
to master the tutorial I have been using to edit this site. For now, look at all my pretty
lists! I will return
