Cottons Class Room: HTML Formatting Tags

HTML

HTML (Hyper Text MarkUp Language) is used to create web pages. The codes are called tags. The tags are given within < and >.

There are two types of tags ,

i. Container Tag : It has both opening and closing tags.
e.g : <html> </html>

ii. Empty Tag : It has only a opening tag.
e.g :

The basic structure of a HTML document is

<html>

<head>

<title>

</title>

</head>

<body>

………

……..

</body>

</html>

Whatever is typed between <title> and </title> will be displayed on the title bar not in the web page.

<html>

</head>

<body>
Your text goes here.

</body>

</html>

Example 1 :
<html>
<head><title> My Page BCBS</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

The output will be :

The data entered between <body> and </body> only will be displayed in the web page.
