This is a "html" reference for those who are interested in making web pages. The words that are founded between both brackets are called html-tags and they define the way the information has to be shown in the page. To make a web page, you need two things:

• a text file (.txt)
• a web browser (the most common: Internet Explorer)

first step:

Create a new text file: right click on a free spot of your desktop -on the computer desktop of course- to make the context menu of the desktop appear. Then new/text file. A new object appears on your desktop, the new text file.

second step:

Open the new text file on your desktop and write something there. then go to the "File" menu on the top of the window, there choose save as. A dialog box will appear. In the "Type" section choose "All files". Say yes to the alert that will appear asking you if you want to replace the file. Close the window.

third step:

Right click the icon of your txt file to show the context menu/ open with / choose Internet Explorer. The text you wrote is going to appear in the browser. Go to the File menu and choose save as. In the dialog box that will appear choose "Web page only HTML". Save and close it. A new file is now on your desktop. Is your brand new first web page!

editing the page:

Now, to edit your web page, open it / right click on the page, from the context menu choose "view source code" or something similar. A window with the code will open. That is your source code of your page. Look for the words you wrote, there is where the main content of the page should be later. Between the "BODY" tags. To make the changes take effect save the changes in the text file window and refresh the browser window where you have opened your html file. From now on, you can use the reference below to edit your page. Everything you put in your page should be between some tags. See the reference to know what you can do.
