This practical tutorial lets you learn hypertext markup language by writing it. Basic HTML code is all that is needed to build a small website for personal, professional, business, educational or some other organisational use.
To learn or review basic hypertext code, HTML: -
Download the main tutorial page and any other pages you want. The pages will link together if they are all put in one directory.
Backup the tutorial file by saving it under the same name but with a 2 added, like tplatebook2.html . Backup the other files too.
Open the tutorial file in a plain text editor like Gedit or Nano.
Also open a new empty file in the text editor and save it as something like testhtml. In the empty file, type
Save the new file under the same name but with a .html extension, not .txt . Or rename the text file with a .html ending.
Only ever open those three files with a plain text editor or a web browser. A word processor or web publisher program will corrupt the basic html markup language.
When viewing the html file in a web browser, right click the page and select view code list to read html coding.
Copy code from the tutorial page, paste it into the empty test file, and edit it. Leave this file open.
In file manager, double click the name of this new file and open it in a web browser to see what the hypertext looks like published. To see the hypertext coding in the web browser, right click the page and select view page source.
Learn by writing more code that way.
Refresh the browser each time the test file is edited.
