Intro

Fact: Everybody uses HTML Editors (MS Front Page, HoTmetal and so on...)

Fact: You really can't make a respectable web site if you don't know the voodoo that's going on under the hood.

Does that mean that you have to go through a tortuous process of lessons after lessons after lessons after lessons after (...well you get the idea)?

The Answer: the absolute truth: Simply No. All you need to do is to learn the basics of HTML so that you could edit the source of the HTML file using something as simple as the Windows Notepad. "HTML On the Run" will do just that. "HTML ON THE RUN" is an accelerated HTML tutorial that teaches you everything that you need to know about basic HTML in only six lessons!

Lets start off:

What is HTML?

"HTML" stands for Hypertext Mark Up Language and it was developed in ....hey, hey hold on a sec. This is supposed to be one of those quick lessons. All you need to know is that :

• HTML is a language used by your browser to display ASCII files as text and graphics.
• All HTML does is to use tags within an ASCII document so that the browser understands what to do with the file.
• HTML is undoubtedly the easiest language ever- I learned it in two hours when I was fifteen- you'll take no more than 30 minutes if you stick with this tutorial.

I shall not confuse you with HTML standards because you don't need to mess with those at this stage.

Well that's all the "Introduction" you need to move on. Go on to Lesson 1!
