2 HTML is very simple - a minimum of formatting functions
3 consists of formatting commands called tags in a text file
  • tags are in < > brackets
  • most are paired for beginning and end: <title> . . . </title>
  • not case sensitive: <TITLE> is the same as <title>
  • Some tags have attributes within the brackets
  • <tag attribute1=value1 attribute2=value2 . . . >
  • In general, numeric values are just given as numbers, while text values are put into quotes.
