An Introduction to HTML

To create an HTML page, you can use any program that can save in text-only format, such as Wordpad and Notepad.

The HTML formatting instructions are written by using markup instructions enclosed in angle brackets.

These markup instructions are referred to as "tags". Tags instruct the Web browser how to display text. The tags are hidden in the Web browser when the text is displayed.
