Welcome to how to html a request for tutorial by Storbet.

This tutorial will teach you the up most basics of html

and what all the characters mean.

A very intuitive occurrence in HTML you will see all

the time is the opening and closing of tags such as the

<html>

 (this is the tag opened) / </html> (this is the tag closed).

I have colourised this tutorial with all the HTML tags blue.

All the information within the tags red.

And all tutorial instruction in black.

<html> The first tag in your HTML document is <html>.

This tag tells your browser that this is the start of an HTML document

<head>

The text between the <head> tag and the </head> tag is header information. Header information is not displayed in the browser window.

<title>Title of page</title>

The text between the <title> tags is the title of your document. The title is displayed in your browser’s caption.

</head>

<body>

The text between the <body> tags is the text that will be displayed in your browser.

This is my first homepage.

<b>This text is bold</b>

The text between the <b> and </b> tags will be displayed in a bold font.

</body>

The closing body tag </body>

</html>

The last tag in your document is always the </html>. This tag tells your browser that this is the end of the HTML document.
