I created this because before I learn't HTML I couldn't build a decent site. Now I feel sorry for all the HTML dummies so here is an easy to use HTML help page.
1. Decide on the HTML code you need.
2. Find it on the page.
3. Right click on your mouse.
4. Select Copy.
5. Then right click again.
6. Select paste and paste it wherever you want.
The basic structure of a website looks like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> your title</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
main_part_of_document_goes_here
</BODY>
</HTML>
With the code below you can control the colours on your page:
<BODY BGCOLOR="#xxxxxx" text="#xxxxxx" link="#xxxxxx" vlink="#xxxxxx" alink="#xxxxxx">
All you need to do is replace the xxxxxx with any of the below:
White = FFFFFF
Yellow = FFFF66
Red = FF0000
Grey = CC9999
Blue = 0000FF
Green = 00FF00
Black = 000000
Purple = CC33FF
Lt. Blue = 00CCFF
If you want an image in the background instead of a solid colour the code looks like this:
<BODY BACKGROUND="yourimage.gif" text="#000000" link="#0066CC" vlink="#336600">
To center text, images or anything else put these tags around them:
<center>Centered item here</center>
To make something a heading use these tags:
(the top is the largest)
<h1>The writing goes here</h1>
<h2></h2>
<h3></h3>
<h4></h4>
<h5></h5>
<h6></h6>
To make text bold use these tags:
<b>Your text</b>
To make something italic use these tags:
<i>Your text</i>
To do a paragraph break use these tags:
<p></p>
To do a line break use these tags:
<br></br>
If you want your text to show up just as you wrote it use these tags:
<pre></pre>
The text shows up as type writer form.
To create a bulleted list use these tags:
<ul>
<li>item one
<li>item two
<li>item three
</ul>
This is the code for a numbered list
<ol>
<li>item one
<li>item two
<li>item three
</ol>
:
You will need to create a target:
<a name="target_name_here">
Then a link to the target:
<a href="#target_name_here">hotlink_text</a>
To insert a graphics use this code:
<img src="right.gif" align=bottom>
To center it simply use the centering tags.
This code is for a link to a document on the same system:
<a href="relative_path_and_filename">hotlink_text </a>
And on a different system:
<a href="http://www.domainname.com/etc/etc">hot_link_text </a>
