Creating an HTML file


Notepad or Wordpad (PC) or SimpleText (Mac)
First tag: <html>

Last tag: </html>


Indicates that you are ending an HTML document *Note* the open & close structure to HTML Fictional example: <sleep> and </sleep>

Save file as [Link]


This is a typical default title for home pages Windows may seem to prefer .htm but .html will also work

just fine.

Creating an HTML file (cont.)


Header information
<head> to begin, and </head> to end Gives information about the page that is not displayed on the

page itself

Page Title
<title> to begin, and </title> to end Example: <title>Transcriptions Studio</title> *Note* that there are no spaces between <title> and

Transcriptions, nor between Studio and </title>

Creating Text in HTML


Body Tags
<body> and </body> all text that appears on the page must be encapsulated within

the body tags

Text headings
<h1> and </h1> There are six defined heading sizes <h1> (largest) through <h6> (smallest)

Paragraphs
<p> and </p>

Text Example
<html> <header> <title>Transcriptions Studio</title> </header> <body> <h1>This is a big heading!</h1> <h2>This is a smaller heading</h2> <p>This is an example of a paragraph.</p> </body> </html>
