Note: Most HTML tags require a beginning tag and an ending tag. Any content between the two tags is displayed according to the tag's characteristics.

HyperText Markup Language (or HTML) is the basic code used to create Web pages. HTML consists of standard "tags" which are then interpreted by the browser and displayed as a Web page. Some tags such as the BODY tag define the page's content. Other tags such as paragraph and header tags assign a user-defined style to text. Bold, Italic, and Underline tags apply set formatting to text. Anchor tags allow you to define hyperlinks, making your page dynamic. In this animation, all the tags have been typed in by hand to create the Web page you see here.
