<html>
<head>
<title>Title of my page</title>
</head>
<body>My first html page.</body>
</html>
Save the file as "myhtmlpage.html". Start Internet browser. Select "Open" in the File menu of your browser. A dialog box will appear. Select "Browse" and locate the HTML file you just created - "myhtmlpage.html". Select it and click "Open". Now you should see an address in the dialog box, for example "C:\MyDocuments\myhtmlpage.html". Click OK, and the browser will display the page.
The first tag in HTML document is <html>. This tag tells your browser that this is the start of an HTML document. The last tag in your document is </html>. This tag tells your browser that this is the end of the HTML document.
The text between the <title> tags is the title of your document. The title is displayed in your browser's caption.
The text between the <head> tag and the </head> tag is header information. Header information is not displayed in the browser window.
The text between the <body> tags is the text that will be displayed in your browser.
When you save an HTML file, you can use either the .htm or the .html extension.
User can easily edit HTML files using a editor like FrontPage, Claris Home Page, or Adobe PageMill instead of writing your markup tags in a plain text file.
