| We're going to explain the meanings of
those basic tags included on previous Web page: template.html. Later, we'll introdude more
other tags and their uses. <HTML>
</HTML>
This pair of tags normally begins and ends any HTML document.
<HEAD> </HEAD>
The header tags contain header information, for example comments or notes that you don't
want to display with the rest of the page. The most important item to place in the header
tag is the <TITLE> pair.
<TITLE> </TITLE>
These important tags contain what browsers will interpret as the "official"
title of the page. When you bookmark the Web page, the document's title is what appears on
your list. So you should choose the good title for your Web page because it will convey
the description of your Web page.
<BODY> </BODY>
The body tags enclose all the rest of the HTML tags. There are
some attributes that can go in the <BODY> tag. For example, a typical <body>
tag would look like:
<body bgcolor = "#FFFFFF"
background = "bground.gif"
text = "#000000" link = "#0000FF" vlink =
"#0000FF">
- The bgcolor attribute describes the back ground color
of your Web page. In the above example, the background color is white(color code #FFFFFF).
- The background attribute points to the image
"bground.gif" used for the background of the Web page.
- The text attribute defines the defaut color of the
text in your Web page. In this example, the color code "#000000" sets the
default color of the text, and it is black text.
- The link attribute will dictate the color of the
links on your Web page. In this example, it will show the links on your Web page, if any,
in blue color.
- The vlink attribute will set the color of the visited
links, if any, in blue color.
- You can subsitute the value of "blue"
"black", etc. in place of the color codes.

<H1> </H1>
- The heading tags from <H1></H1> to
<H6> </H6> encloses the headlines and subheadlines.
- Heading 1 <H1> </H1>is the largest and should
serve as the main heading. Heading 6 <H6> </H6> is the smallest one.
- Attribute "align" and its values
"center" can go in <H1> tag to center the text. For example: <H1 align = "center">
<P> </P>
These paragraph tags will break a long
document into several smaller paragraphs for readable reasons. There are some
attributes and their values that can go along with these tags. For example, a
paragraph tag could look like this one: <P
align = "left">. The
attribute "align" and its value "left" will format the paragraph
left-sided by default. Other values are "center" and "right".
