HTML-Introduction -Part 1

[RAHEN]

INTRODUCTION

Web pages are written in HTML - a simple scripting Language

HTML is short for Hyper-Text-Markup-Language.
Hyper-Text is simply a piece of text that works as a link.
Markup-Language is a way of writing layout information within documents.

Basically an HTML document is a plain text file that contains text and nothing else.

When a browser opens an HTML file, the browser will look for HTML codes in the text and use them to change the layout, insert images, or create links to other pages.

Since HTML documents are just text files they can be written in even the simplest text editor.

A more popular choice is to use a special HTML editor - maybe even one that puts focus on the visual result rather than the codes - s so-called WYSIWYG editor (What You See IS What You Get).

Some of the most popular HTML editors, such as Frontpage or Dreamweaver will let you create pages more or less as you write documents in Word or Whatever text editor you are using.

We usually write HTML language in notepad
Start->programs->Accessories->notepad

and it looks like dis

TAGS
Basically, a computer sees and "A" as simply an "A" - whether it is bold, italic, big or small.
To tell the browser that an "A" should be bold we need to put a markup in front of the A such as markup is called Tag.

All HTML tags are enclosed in < and >.
Example: a piece of text as it appears on the screen.
This is an example of bold text.

HTML: the HTML for the above example:
is text.

As u can see, the start tag indicates that whatever follows should be written in bold. The corresponding end tag indicates that the browser should stop writing text in bold.

if u want to add anything in introduction and tags- plz include- it will be appreciated

Dearest Rahen dost,

I am glad to see u participation.But ill point out a suggestion..

See if we go on teaching html well go on with covering the entire tut space..Each member like u .me and endurer can teach all under one topic..

I am going ask admin to do it..See what u r teaching is 100% correct and ncie to a student..Dnt make it like notes dear dost..

MAke it a formula ...Make it a page turner..
Show them that html i s easy...

Rahen dost i am sry for an offence...

[RAHEN]

Yunus ur view is appreciated dat i must not make notes instead a formula- but yunus before i make a fomula i must let know dat wat things r we using- tags head and body these simple things should be clear cause if we r not able to make dat clear to our readers we end up teaching ourselves.well have a look to html tutorial outline.
Yunus the thing is we know html more or less but the people who r reading us might not know wat is tag- simple things matter a lot in the long run. when i am finished wid explaining tags,head, and body i will start wid making web pages starting wid formatting to background to..
have a look

I'm honestly glad to see the interest of our friends growing in the tech side of things. Admin if you are reading this, please plese it's a request to publicize it site wide. Help us bring more members to this section, send a newsletter or put a note at the home page of desitwist.

Rahen sis, I very much like the way you are putting things up here, particularly the screenshots. It will be really helpful for newbies.

I would like to agree with mytonse bro, just a suggestions from us, please make it a step-by-step guide to everyone.

ps: Great start, people like us are going to learn a great lot from your knowledge sis, thanks again.

Dtians,

I think well be soon able to catch u r attention.I am taking a backseat hence.I dnt want to nullify rahens knowledge nor i want to nullify anyone..I guess my work is done..

Just the last chapter frm me..



Contd frm chap 1 frm rahen,

as rightly told " [b] " .means bold. .Dnt get confused.Tag is nothing but " < some attribute>..
opening tag is this way= "<some attribute">
closing tag is here=" </some attrbute> "

so u see Html is easy..
u need to keep just this thing in mind.Start with 2 <> and end with 3 </>.U r done then..following are a list of eg tags...

practice this in u notepad...

note:ill be just highlighting the attribute part

1.my name is Yunus {u r doing no magic.actually the browser attens the specific attribute between the opne and close tag>

2. i am Yunus. (i is for italics)

3.<u> Yunus</> ( u is for underlining )


this is a direct 3 way font formatting..More inshallah from my most learned counterparts..

HAve fun

allahhafiz!!

[Endurer]

very well explained Yunus bro :applaud;

I would be glad if you could teach us the difference between htm and html extensions. I.e. which one we should prefer? or if it makes a difference or not.

Wasalam.
