HTML = HyperText Markup Language

Hypertext = is more than just text. You can create jumpstarts from your page to other pages throught related information.

Multimeda = is text, graphics, sound, animation, movies...a wide variety of media all in one document. And it's all interactive

HTML=The language of the Web

HTML does three things

Formats documents (how they look) -- 95%

Hands multimedia (pictures, movies) -- 2.5%

Hyperlinks -- 2.5%

 

Two basic types of information that go into web pages.

  1. Text or content
  2. Codes (called "tags") tell the Internet how the page should look and how it should behave.

 

Web Files

All HTML files must be text (ASCII) files

All HTML filenames should end with ".html" or ".htm"

</ul>

Attributes follow the tag and other attributes and consist of a space, the attribut, and equal sign, and a value (either a number or a word).

Filename Conventions

 

  • No spaces!
  • Keep filenames as short as possible (especially html files)
  • Homepages should be filenamed, "index.html".
  • Web pages must end with .html or .htm as the file extension.
  • Image files must end with .gif or .jpg, depending on the file format
