HTMLed Basics


Here is the HTMLed Toolbar.


To start, open the File and select either New to start a new document or Open to modify an existing file.


For now, select New from the File menu. Now a Untitle window should appear.

Every document should have the following:

A HTML Marker to denote the beginning the start and end of the document. They are denoted as <HTML> and </HTML> respectively. You can type in these yourself or go to the Element menu and select Mark as HTML from the menu. There is only one HTML marker per page.

A Header marker to denote the beginning of a heading on the page. The heading will display the information inside the heading on the top of your WWW browser. The start and end of a Header are denoted as <HEAD> and </HEAD> respectively. This is also in the Element menu, but select Mark as HEAD instead. The is only one Head marker per page

A title. This usually goes inside the header. The title labels you HTML documents. The start and end of a title are denoted as <Title> and </Title> respectively. The title is located in the Element menu under Title . There is only one Title heading per page.

A Body. This is the main part of a HTML document. The body is where all the information goes. The start and end of the body are denoted as >BODY< and >/BODY<. This is located in the Element menu under Mark as BODY . There is only one body marking per page.
