Basic HTML

Spire_CnC · 02-26-2013, 03:33 AM

In this tut I'll be explaining basic HTML.
It can be very useful to know basic HTML in many
situations.

___________________________________________

Shall we start?

HTML: If you have used a forum and typed in [ b ] Text [ /b ], then you can do HTML. HTML is basically the same exact thing as BBCode, except it uses < > instead of [ ]. Without the spaces of course.

To make an HTML Document, all you need is a text editor, such as Notepad (Windows) or TextEditor (Mac, I believe).

All HTML documents must start with the beginning HTML tag:

Code:
!DOCTYPE.html
<html>

If you don't start with this tag, the document will not be recognized as HTML.

___________________________________________

Basic HTML:

To start a body of text in an HTML document you must put:

Code:
<body>
ALL TEXT HERE
</body>

under the HTML tag.

Most of the time, under the body tag,
you'll want to start a paragraph so CSS
can be added later on.

Do this by putting:

Code:
<p>
ALL TEXT HERE
</p>

To make a header, you must put:

Code:
<h1>HEADER TEXT</h1>

This will result in a header text like this: HEADER TEXT
The h1 is the size of the header. As you go up, (h2, h3, h4, etc..) the text will get
smaller, I believe.

To make a text bold, put:

Code:
<b>BOLD TEXT</b>

The rest of this really explains itself.

Underline:

Code:
<u>TEXT</u>

Italics:

Code:
<i>TEXT</i>

etc...

This was meant to be very basic. I'll possibly
make a more in-depth HTML explanation and maybe
even other coding tuts for other languages.

If I can find someone who knows alot about some
other languages such as Java, I might even do some
video tutorials. Biggrin

Thanks for this being a forum whore I pretty much memorized the BB code and I don't bother even clicking the buttons only time I click them is for color. I figured HTML was pretty easy I found it understandable when I looked at it before and seemed like a language you could self teach your self with just experimenting.

HTML is pretty self explanatory. Just thought I'd help point it out. PHP and CSS is where it starts to get complicated. I'll start doing tuts on them sooner or later.

I've been interested to learn CSS can't really find any good tutorials on it really. Might just start with Python considering I made it pretty far into a video course tutorial with it already.

I'd be more than happy to give you lessons in CSS. I know it decently well. Are you more interested in Web Development or Program Development?

I'm interested in both I plan to do Computer Programming or Computer Science in university.

Didn't we say this before in another thread haha? I'm also planning on going to school for Computer Science, most likely as a Java Developer.

Very cool. I was actually going to make a tutorial VERY similar to this. You obviously know the language though so I'm not complaining.

I've had my in-depth experiences with it. I used to design websites and I still do on the side sometimes, knowing HTML is a must. : P
