The most important element in any HTML
| <HTML> . . . </HTML> | This goes to the beginning of a HTML and the end. Everything else goes inbetween these two tags. |
| <HEAD> . . . </HEAD> | This goes after <HTML> but before <BODY> |
| <TITLE> . . .</TITLE> | This is the place where you can name you website on the title bar. The text will appear in the blue bar on any browsers. It goes in-between <HEAD>. . . </HEAD> |
| <BODY>. . .</BODY> | This tells the browser what to show on the screen. It goes after </HEAD>, but before </HTML> |
| <BODY BACKGROUND="...">. . . </BODY> | This is an extension to the body command tags. You can have a background image like this page by placing the image file in the same place as the html file, and typing the file name and extension inbetween the quotation marks. ( "..." ) A example woul be <BODY BACKGROUND="BLQ.JPG">. . . </BODY> This command replace <BODY> . . . </BODY> |
| <BODY BGCOLOR="SKYBLUE">. . . </BODY> | This is another extension to te body command tags. You can just have a plain color for the background. You can only choose to have the background image tags (,above), or this. If you choose to have a white background, then just put in <BODY>. |
| <P> | This allows you to write a paragraph. Everytime you use this command, it skips a line from the paragraph above automatically. The default alignment for this is left. |
| <P ALIGN="RIGHT"> | If you wish to have different alignment, type in "center", "right", or "left" in-between the quotation marks. |
