HTML Basics


HTML???
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It's the basic language to make web sites. It uses codes to make things like links, tables, and much more. Below is the things you would start out with.


Getting Started
The first thing you have to do when builing a page is putting in the main HTML tag. This is like the base of the website:

<html>
<head>  </head>
<title> TITLE (Appears on title bar) </title>
<body>
All of your pages content goes here
</body>
</html>

Just add these to the body tag of the page.

Background Colors

Code:  <body bgcolor="COLORHERE">

Background Image

Code: <body background="IMAGEURL">

Non-moving Bg Image

Code: <body background="IMAGEURL" bgproperties="fixed">

Info: This code is if you don't want your bg image to move as you scroll up or down.

Lines

Example:  (none)

Code:  <hr width=315 color=#999999 size=3>

Info:  Width stands for the length of the line, for color put a hex code or color name, and size is how high the line is (well it's pretty much the width).

Spaces

To make a space you should use this:&nbsp;

The HTML used to make a space in between two lines of text are...

For a small space: <br>
For a big space: <p>
