ABOUT HTML

HTML means Hyper Text Markup Language. HTML is used to create web pages.
HTML is a Language (as it has code-words and syntax like any other language) that describes web pages.
HTML Tags are used through out the document to format different parts. For example, you use HTML tags to specify headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, images and much more.
HTML documents are also called web pages.
HTML is a subset of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) and is specified by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

What do I need to create HTML?

You don't need any special equipment or software to create HTML. In fact, you probably already have everything you need. Here is what you need:

Computer
Text or HTML editor . Most computers already have a text editor and you can easily create HTML files using a text editor.

Having said that, there are definite benefits to be gained in downloading an HTML editor.

If you want the best HTML editor, and you don't mind paying money for it, you can't go past Adobe Dreamweaver . Dreamweaver is probably the best HTML editor available, and you can download a trial version for starters.

If you don't have the cash to purchase an editor, you can always download a free one. Examples include SeaMonkey, Coffee Cup (Windows) and TextPad (Windows). If you don't have an HTML editor, and you don't want to download one just now, a text editor is fine. Most computers already have a text editor. Examples of text editors include Notepad (for Windows), Pico (for Linux), or Simpletext/Text Edit/ Text Wrangler (Mac).

Web Browser . For example, Internet Explorer or Firefox.

Do I need to be online?

No, you do not need to be online to create web pages. You can create web pages on your local machine. You only need to go online when you want to publish your web page to the web.
The next lesson will show you how to create a basic HTML page in less than 5 minutes.
