HTML (Cont.)

There are hundreds of other tags used to format and layout the data in a web page. Tags are also used to specify hypertext links, for example, 
     <a href="http://www.nfl.com/news/">NFL News</a>
where ‘a’ and ‘/a’ delimit an anchor, and “href” introduces a hypertext reference, which in this case is a URL. The text “NFL News” will be the label appearing on the link in the browser. On the other hand, the last tag </html> means the end of the HTML document.

An example of the correct structure for an HTML document is on the right, where the directory public_html is usually used to store web pages.
~/public_html/Demo.html 
<html>
 <head>
  <title>Title of page</title>
 </head>
 <body>
  This is my first homepage.
  <b>This text is bold.</b>
 </body>
</html>

Assuming the file is saved as ~/public_html/Demo.html, the browser will then display the file at http://undcemcs01.und.edu/~userid/Demo.html.

The following demonstration shows how the HTML script is displayed on the Web.

     


Review: HTML
Which is NOT true about HTML?
      An HTML file can be created using a simple text editor.
      An HTML file must have an htm or html file extension.
      HTML tag is case sensitive.
      The markup tags tell the web browser how to display the page.

      but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.
