will do this to any text until it is told otherwise by the end tag
, and so the text goes back to normal. If you are new to HTML here is a quick run down on how HTML works and what it is. Its really not all too difficult so, lets start at the beginning.
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. That may sound complex but all
you really need to know is that a web browser reads tags and depending on the type
of tag, the browser will act as the tag instructs it. For example a tag that look like this
will do this to any text until it is told otherwise by the end tag , and so the text goes back to normal.
At this point it is important to understand the basic structure of HTML. In order for anything to be displayed on a browser there must be a tag, text or image within the Body tags. That is to say there must be a structure that looks as follow. It is the essential html framework.
There are many different kinds of tags and some only work on some browsers but the most basic tags should work on all. I wont go into detail on which browser does what just now as you will learn that soon enough on your own and because browser change very rapidly.
The browser displays what is in between the body tags but there will times when you wish to have information that does not get displayed, for example the title bar and certain JavaScripts. For this purpose you have the HEAD tags and it would be wise to consult a JavaScript book if wish to learn more about this.
