Your made-easy guide to create a webpage. |
| What is HTML? HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is the standard markup language for creating Web pages. HTML describes the structure of a Web page and consists of a series of elements. HTML elements tell the browser how to display the content and label pieces of content such as "this is a heading", "this is a paragraph", "this is a link", etc. Your webpage won't display correctly without the basic HTML structure. To begin, enter this code within your webpage item's message body: Simple HTML Document: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>My First Web Page</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css"> </head> <body> <h1>Welcome to My Website!</h1> <p>This is my very first webpage.</p> </body> </html> Where: <!DOCTYPE html>: Declares it's an HTML5 document. <html>: The root element of your page. <head>: Contains information about the page (title, links to styles). <title>: The title that appears in the browser tab. <link>: Links to your external stylesheet file (styles.css) <body>: Contains the visible content of the page. <h1>: Main heading. <p>: Paragraph of text. IMPORTANT: Writing.Com's Webpage item will still work even without the <HTML>, <HEAD>, <BODY> and <FRAMESET> tags. What is WritingML? Writing.com defines WritingML as the mark-up language used within Writing.Com. It allows you to enhance your writing on Writing.com's web-based system. Tags for basic text formatting, such as bold, italic, and underline, are provided, as well as more complex tags, such as linking to members and items, embedding images, and footnotes. WritingML is a markup language similar to HTML. Visit Enhance Your Item With WritingML for more details. |
