| HTML Basics With the widespread use of the web these days, knowing a bit of HMTL is useful. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. HyperText is the links that let you go to other web pages, and Markup means you'll use some simple characters to mark how you want your words to appear. While you can do very complicated things with HTML, the basics are straightforward.
If you've used a word processor that has styles, you probably already understand the basic idea - you may want some words to be bold, and others to be italic. In HMTL, type plain text, and use markup to describe how it should display. When you view your text in a web browser, the formatted text is shown. Different browsers may display the text slightly differently. You'll also use markup to make your links to other pages.
One important thing to know is that any formatting you type in your editor, like tabs, extra spaces and carriage returns are ignored when the page is displayed. You must use the markup to do your formatting.
