HTML Tutorial

What are HTML tags?
HTML tags are the basis for the language of HTML. Simply put, HTML IS JUST tags. HTML tags are words or commands that are inside of less than (<) and greater than (>) signs. HTML tags can be written in CAPITAL LETTERS or lower case letters. The tags must be spelled correctly, and in the correct place on your html page. This means that you have to place the correct HTML tag in the corresponding place. Here is an example of correct placing of an HTML tag.

<html>
<head>
<title>Put your title here.</title>
</head>
<body>Put your body here.</body>
</html>

What are beginning and ending tags?

<body>Look at my page!</body>
The <body> is an open tag and </body> is a close tag

Note: The forward slash right after the opening part of the close tag. This indicates that the <body> tag is now closed</body>, and will no longer be used in this HTML page.
