What is HTML? HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is a special language which tells the browser how to format text in a www document. An HTML file consists of text and tags. HTML uses CSS for page layout and design HTML5, still evolving, includes more features, better plugin support, and more semantic tags.
5
Syntax Contains tags that dictate how the content will appear, i.e. formatting. Examples: Happy Applies bold to the word Breaks the line Some tags include attributes that alter the basic command, for example: Welcome
6
Other Characteristics The format is text files, with.htm or.html extension. Hard returns, tabs, and extra spaces are ignored. DO NOT use spaces in file names. File names ARE CASE SENSITIVE. Tags are not case sensitive, but the standard is lowercase.

One More Thing… The first page in a web site should be named index.htm or index.html. Because it’s the default filename, it nicely shortens your URL example: www.cofc.edu instead of: www.cofc.edu/index.htm
