When you activate this link, you will see the simplest type of page that
can be made in HTML in a new browser window.
When the new browser window pops up, look at the source.
The first thing you will notice is that you make a page title by using a pair of HTML tags:
Notice that the Title does not show up on the page. It's important anyway, as it aids the search engines and appears at the top of the browser window when you're viewing it. More on the title when we discuss the Head in a later class.
Then we give the page a heading with the H1 tag:<H1>. There are several numbered headings available, ranked in importance from 1 to 6. This level 1 heading (most important) is closed by the </H1> end tag.
Next notice that paragraphs are started with a P tag: <P>. You can use a paragraph end tag if you wish, </P>, but it is optional, and most people don't use them. If you wish to break a line in a paragraph, use the <BR> tag.
Notice that multiple spaces, tabs and lines (whitespace) are swallowed up, and replaced by single blanks and then reformatted for the screen.
Finally, note that you can draw a horizontal rule with the <HR> tag.
