The World Wide Web

Servers disseminate hypertext documents Hypertext is text with a link or reference Uniform resource locator (URL): unique address of

data on web HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a common

formatting language for the web Tags are non-printing formatting markers

• Identified by angle brackets (i.e. <TAG> )• Example: <TITLE>The Human Tornado</TITLE>• Come in delimiting pair

General Goals Platform independent Text Specification

(also called a Markup Language) Links to other network resources

Delimiting with tags First tag says, “Begin mode” Second tag (containing “/”) says, “End mode” So <TITLE>The Human Tornado</TITLE> means

1. Begin title mode2. The text “The Human Tornado” is in title mode3. End title

Using this construct, we can nest several different modes and have interesting behavior

HTML

Some General HTML rules For tags, case doesn’t matter, e.g., <html> = <HTML>

In the text, spaces don’t matter: it will decide!

(we call that “free format”) <br> starts a new line

Headings Use <hn> to specify heading where smaller n designates more important heading

For example <h1> - - - </h1> is largest, boldest heading

<h4> - - - </h4> designates a fairly minor heading

HTML

Want to link things together! Hypertext (from the Webopedia)

A special type of database system, invented by Ted Nelson in the 1960s, in which objects (text, pictures, music, programs, and so on) can be creatively linked to each other.

An anchored link:<a HREF=”http://www.duke.edu”>The Duke Web Page</a> Produces link to URL specified in HREF and display info between <a> tags: The Duke Web Page

Other useful info For italics or emphasis use

<i> or <em> For darker or bold use

<strong> or <b> For text space exactly as typed (not free

format) use<pre>

HTML

Specifying Colors Can be specified in different ways e.g., for standard colors can specify “white” or “red”

Can specify arbitrary colors by specifying the amount of red, blue, and green involved. (RGB)

Uses base 16 arithmetic: 0, 1, …, 9, a, b, c, d, e, f

Red: “ff0000” Green: “00ff00” Blue: “0000ff”Black: “000000” Gray: ”7f7f7f” White:”ffffff”

Yellow: ”ffff00” Orange: “ff7f00” Purple: ”c000e0”

Can experiment!

HTML/Web/UNIX practice In UNIX, your web page folder is found in a standard

location: ~userID/public_html/and for OIT Duke files is accessed with a web

browser at //www.duke.edu/~userID

Many people don’t code in raw HTML Write in TextPad Save as Web Page in Microsoft Word Netscape Composer, Macromedia Dreamweaver,

Bluefish These all generate HTML for you View other people’s web page source (HTML) from most

browsers -- learn from others

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

Style sheets describe how documents are presented

CSS is a standard for providing formatting (i.e. style) information for web documents Specify fonts, colors, spacing, etc. Why would we want to separate the style information from the content?

In the CSS file, you specify: a selector, that picks out the element you want

the properties and values that you want to apply to the selected element (or elements)

body { font-family: serif;}

select everything in the <body> tagand use a serif font for the text
