HTML Help-Page 1

Welcome to the HTML Help Page 1! This is a guide to the basics and even somewhat difficult HTML tags, inserts and other website-related items.

Introduction to Page 1
This page will run through the basics of HTML in general, such as paragraph markers, alignment, tags and rules. Below is an outlook of what you will see in The Western Capital's own HTML Help.

Title of Lesson
Brief introduction to the item being highlighted.
Important: An important note that either points out an essential mark or provides a common fact regarding the lesson.
Example An example including what the item will look like in the finished product.

Start Your Engines...
The "<" and ">" marks are the first lesson into the world of HTML. The arrows mark where HTML will begin and end. NOTHING will ever be done without these except for text in an open body.
Important: If you do not get this lesson, read the following lesson for further understanding. Don't rush it, it'll come along in the end.
Example: The first tag you ever see is the HTML Tag. It tells the computer that there is HTML to follow. It looks like this: <html>

Tags
Tags start and end everything in HTML. You can not have tables, a title, or even a text body without them!
Important: If you do not include the "<" and ">" marks, it will not work!
Examples:

The text is bold

The text is underlined

The text is in italics

Ending Highlights
The key to topping off tags are ending highlights. Situations this applies to include centering images and text, changing font, font size, font color and more.
Important: The ending tag to an item must have a preceeding "/" mark!
Example: Text is now in the font "Kids"

Equal Properties
The equal sign is the final step in highlights. Once you've got the tags down, you can change fonts, color, sizes, adjust horizontal rule widths and even level a table's border. As seen in the previous example, an equal sign indicates what measurements and qualities an item has. Also, note that quotation marks are required for the indicated change along with the "/" mark in the ending tag. Following this lesson, there are numerous examples.
Important: Average text size is "3."
Examples:

<font color="green">Green text</font>	<font color="red">Red text</font>
<font size="2">Smaller text</font>	<font size="4">Larger text</font>

Paragraph and Break Markers
When you are writing a lot, you need to group it into paragraphs. Paragraphs are spaced using the paragraph marker, which spaces a line by two. Breaks space a line by one, meaning the text would go on the line exactly below it.
Important: Include a paragraph marker on the line below the text you want to separate. Put a break marker on the same line of text to separate.
Example:

Paragraph	Break
<p>	<br>

Alignment
Alignment means putting your text to the left, center or right side of the screen. You can either center it or align your text.
Important: Use the equal sign to specify which alignment you prefer and remember your ending tag!
Example:

Center Alignment	Paragraph Alignment
<center>	<p align="right">

Horizontal Rules
Horizontal rules are lines that break text and images horizontally. These rules can be seen in this section. See those lines going across the screen, breaking the lessons up? Those are the rules!
Important: Put the horizontal rule marker on the line below the text or image you want to separate.
Example: <hr>

URL's In-Depth
A URL, or Uniform Resource Locator, is basically the location that a user is at on the internet. It acts like a destination on a map. The Western Capital's HTML Help's URL, for instance, is "https://www.angelfire.com/ne2/efdbzhp/htmlhelp1.html." Look above, that's correct, right? When you bookmark a website, you are saving their URL into your Bookmark List for future reference. URL's are everything on the web. They connect the internet together. What about a search engine? They have thousands of website URL's! Start a search on "Yahoo!" and you'll come up with dozens of sites related to the keywords. Below the title of a site is always its location...keep that in mind!
Important: Remember your site's URL at all costs! Without it, you are done for!!!
