: Basic HTML
 

The framework that makes up an HTML document

Ok, things you might or might not want to know:

At the most basic level, the code for an HTML document looks like this:

<html>
<head>
<title>
put the title in here
</title>
</head>
<body>
Content content, blah blah things I want in my web page blah blah
</body>
</html>

The <html> tag is fairly self explanatory - it allows the document to be an html document

The <head> tag contains the <title> tag, which controls what you see at the top of the page, and if you bookmark a page, that's the text that shows up as the bookmarked text. For example, the <title> tag for this page looks like this:

<title>Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start</title>

You can also put in style elements and most javascript scripts contain an element that has to go in the head tag, after the title tag has been closed. You cannot, however, put links within a title tag and no content that you want to show up on the page can go in the head tag. Why? Cause mamma says so.

The body tag is a whole 'nother issue. Click here to go on
