THE HTML

INTRODUCTION
The HTML is a computer language used to describe
texts. It can be edited in any ASCII editor of text. Among
them, we have EDIT under DOS, and BLOC-NOTES
which is the mostly used, under Windows. We also have
WYSIWYG, meaning What You See Is What You Get.

The structure of an HTML page consist of;


The Head
The body

STRUCTURE OF AN HTML PAGE


We have two main parts in an HTML page which are;

used to write titles.

THE BODY: It has the tag <body> and </body>. This the
tag within which the text is contained. It also contain so
many tags which are used to describe the text written
within the tag. Examples of those tags are; <br>, <p>.

page.

HOW TO INSERT IMAGES

To insert an image, we first of all identify the image, and


then the image location. The address of the location is
used as the link in the HTML page. The link can be
absolute or relative, but it is preferable to use a relative
URL. This is because, if you use an absolute URL, both
the visitor of your wed site and you must be connected to
the internet.
There are two formats of images on the internet. They
are;
The gif: It is the most widely used and can be animated
The jpeg: It is the most widely used for pictures, but it
cannot be animated.
