HTML

From Wikiversity

HTML or HyperText Markup Language is a computer language that is used for creating web pages for access over the internet. It is a structured way of telling web browsers how a web page should be displayed. HTML is a static language, which means that it cannot process (or change its content based on) user input.

[edit] Prerequisites

• To write HTML, you need to use an editor:
  • Any plain-text editor will do, such as Windows Notepad, Macintosh TextEdit, or Linux Nano. A word processor, such as Word or OpenOffice is not acceptable.
  • A What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) editor, such as Microsoft Expression Web (which replaced Frontpage) or Adobe Dreamweaver will work, but it is much better to learn with a text editor before using a WYSIWYG editor.

• To view rendered HTML, you need a web browser (such as the one you are using to view this page).
