Creating HTML Document

Creating an HTML document is easy. To begin coding HTML you need only two things: a simple- text editor and a web browser. Notepad is the most basic of simple-text editors and you will probably code a fair amount of HTML with it.

We can use our HTML Online Editor to learn HTML. Here are the simple steps to create a baisc HTML document:

Open Notepad or another text editor.
At the top of the page type <html>.
On the next line, indent five spaces and now add the opening header tag: <head>.
On the next line, indent ten spaces and type <title> </title>.
Go to the next line, indent five spaces from the margin and insert the closing header tag: </head>.
Five spaces in from the margin on the next line, type<body>.
Now drop down another line and type the closing tag right below its mate: </body>.
Finally, go to the next line and type </html>.
In the File menu, choose Save As.
In the Save as Type option box, choose All Files.
Name the file template.htm.
Click Save.

We have basic HTML document now, to see some result put the following code in title and body tags.


<html>

<head>

<title>This is document title</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>This is a heading</h1>

<p>Document description goes here.....</p>

</body>

</html>

Now we have created one HTML page and we can use a Web Browser to open this HTML file to see the result. Hope you understood that Web Pages are nothing but they are simple HTML files with some content which can be rendered using Web Browsers.

Here <html>, <head>,...<p>, <h1> etc. are called HTML tags.
HTML tags are building blocks of an HTML document and we will learn all the HTML tags in subsequent chapters.

NOTE: One HTML file can have extension as .htm or .html. So you can use either of them based on your comfort.
