This is so basic that the higher powers (Cooro, Fyre Vortex, etc.) are going to look down upon this and laugh (or cry).
First you’re going to need a text editor that will actually write code.
On Windows you can simply use Notepad, type the code, and replace the extension (.txt to .html).
On Mac is slightly more difficult. TextEdit doesn’t really like you replacing their rtf (Rich Text Format/Formatting/I don’t know) format. It doesn’t work/really messy.
So if you’re on Windows you’re set.
If you’re on Mac go pick up an editor dedicated to coding, like TextMate.
If you’re on Linux you can pick up a code editor or use Terminal.
First open up your editor of choice and copy/paste or write yourself:
<html>
<head>Hello World!</head>
<body>
I’m learning HTML!
</body>
</html>
Alright here’s the explanation:
<something> designates an area/object/text/other
</something> ends a designated area/object/text/other
For example you may indicate a paragraph in HTML using <p> and indicate the end of a paragraph using </p>
<html>
This starts every HTML document
<head>
This designates what shows up at the top of your browser window. For example if you are reading this off noodlescape at the top of your browser window (assuming you are using a browser with a window) it should read “noodlescape”.
Any text within the <head> and </head> tags will be set as the title.
</head>
Ends the head text
<body>
This starts the actually content of your page. This is what shows up IN the browser window. You insert lots of things in the body, not just text. For example, you can use <img> tags to embed an image
</body>
Ends the body
</html>
Ends the document
Some things you can do to learn more:
Most browsers allow you to view the source of a webpage. If you’re on Firefox you may use Ctrl/Cmd/Apple + U to view the HTML source of a page!
You can embed images using:
<img src=”link to the image”>
Doesn’t require a </img>
You can alter text using:
<b> Bold
<i> Italicize
<u> Underline
Don’t forget to stick the </> tags
