Introduction To HTML

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, and it is a computer 
language used to create web pages. All web pages on the internet
are made with HTML. HTML code consists of onlt text - the main 
text of the document, and specific instructions called "tags". 
(Tags are surrounded by and angle bracket [< >])

There are four main types of tags in HTML:
Document Structure -  Lest you set up the basic structure of your web page
Formatting - Change the appearance of text
Links - Instantly go to other web pages from yours
Images - Add pictures (images)

Most tags have an opening tag and a closing tag. The closing tag has
a foward slash (/) Some tags only have an opening tag

Some tags have attributes to offer options for the tag. For example,
yhe fornt tag has a COLOR attribute that lets you change the color 
of text in your document. (<FONT COLOR = "Blue">)
