ADDING TEXT TO A HTML
PAGE
|
|
When creating a web page we would have to say that entering the text is probably
the easiest part to do. The reason we say this is that it is the part where
you write the information you would like others and yourself to see on a web
page. The text could range from writing about your favourite music artist
to writing a html tutorial like this.
To write the text you need to follow these steps.
1) If you have not already created a body tag you will need to do so. If you would like to know the reason why you need to them please click on the following links WHAT IS HTML or Changing the background colour of your web page, which provides further information.
To create a opening body tag you will need to insert the word body between two angle brackets, which should look like the example below.
<body>
2) Once you have done this you will then have to press the return/enter key on the keyboard, which will place the cursor under the above opening, body tag. When this has happened you can then start to type in the information that is to be displayed on your web page. By typing this information you re creating what is known as the body of the web page.
3) When you have typed in all the information that you want to display on your web page, you will then need to explain to the computer that you have finished the body of your web page. To do this you will need to create a closing body tag, which can be done by typing in a flash slash and the word body between two angle brackets like the example below.
</body>
By creating this tag the computer will now know that the main body of the web page is finished
