Now
let's put some of this training to work. All you need to write an HTML file is
a text editor. Open one of those up and create a new, empty file. Now you need
to type in some HTML code.
Every HTML file has to start and end with
the same tags. Just like the <b> tag that tells the browser to make
something bold, you need some tags to tell the browser that it's about to read
an HTML file. So the first tag you have to use is the <html> tag. It has
to be the first thing on the page, and its closing tag, </html>, has to
be the last thing.
Inside the <html> tags go the <body> tags. This tells
the browser where to look for all the actual content on your page. <html>
and <body> are really the only tags you have to use. There are others
that you should use, but for now we can get away with just those two. So
if you type something inside the <body> tags, you'll have a Web
page.
