About This Section

This is a self-study introduction to HTML. Along with explanations of the main ideas there are a number of exercises which become progressively more complex. If you are new to HTML it is worth completing the exercises in order. Many of the later exercises reuse the pages created in the earlier ones.

When a computer's web browser encounters a file containing Hypertext Mark-up Language it receives information about the document's content, structure and behaviour. HTML files are text files which include instructions to the browser as tags.

eg <center>Page 1</center>

In the example the <center> tag instructs the browser to display the text which follows in the centre of the page. The </center> tag ‘closes’ the tag. The text which follows will not be centred.
