Web Authoring Introduction

A web site is composed of many linked web pages. These web pages are written using HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language).

HTML Tags have an effect on the way your web pages appear. Tags appear within angular brackets <HTML> </HTML> to start and end the code. For example paragraphs are <p> and </p> to end. The main text
