COMPETENCY 003:B
“A web page is nothing more than a file, a HTML file to be exact. It's called HTML because web page documents have the file extension .html or .htm. HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up Language” (Barta).
What is a web page?
A file extension tells a person what kind of file it is. Every file has a file extension.
Example: file name ---> diary.txt <--- file extension

Web Page HTML Tag Example<body><p><a href="http://dianacedillo.blogspot.com/">D. Cedillo's Blog</a></p><p>The purpose of this blog is to inform students, staff, and administrators on the latest technologies that can be incorporated into a classroom setting.</p><p> </p></body></html> Live Link
Rule 1. All tags are enclosed in angle bracekts: < >Rule 2. Every tag that is opened must be closed.
Open tag looks like this:<html> <body> <p> <font>Closed tag adds a forward slash and looks like this:</html>< /body>< /p> </font>
Rule 3. Tags tell the browser both what (attribute) and how (value) to do it. To align a paragraph in the center: <p align=“center”>
Rule 4. Multiple attributes should be added to a tag in series. <font color=“#FF0000” size=“5”> Your text is here. </font>
Tag Rules
When you add an image, it is as simple as telling the browser what image to display and where to find it.
<img src=“imagename.format”>
