  8. HTML review • HTML stands for "HyperText Markup Language" • HTML is a collection of text surrounded by tags which modify the text of the document. • All tags are encoded in angle brackets (< >). • In general, tags work in pairs -- one to turn on the modification, one to turn it off. Stop tags look just like start tags except they have a slash (/) in front. <tag>affected text</tag> • Some tags work on their own. We call these the simple, empty, basic, or "singlet" tags. The Horizontal Rule tag <hr /> is an example. • Most tags have attributes which can modify how they function: <tag attribute="value"> affected text </tag>

  9. Tag examples <em>I want this in italics</em> is processed by the browser to look like: I want this in italics <p align="center">I want this new paragraph to be centered</p> is processed by the browser to look like: I want this new paragraph to be centered

  10. Using Dreamweaver • Fortunately, doing EVERYTHING by hand is no longer necessary. • Desktop WYSIWYG editors such as Dreamweaver and FrontPage/Expression Web or web-based tools like TinyMCE and CKEditor make it much easier to create dynamic web pages.
