HTML overview

HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is a world wide markup language that allows a user to create his or her own web page. While HTML is a fairly easy to learn markup language, it does involve several hundred commands to learn and memorize.

With HTML, the user creates tags; tags are anything between the less-than and the greater-than signs. Using the tags, this identifies where the commands begin and end. For example, Bold Text tells the browser that is the beginning of the bold text statement that will turn anything after that tag bold; once the browser hits the browser then turns the bold text statement off, allowing for only specific text to be bold

On this page we have created a list of HTML commands, which can be used in web pages to change text, add different features, and apply other effects.
