Open Tay Learning

Basic HTML

Welcome to the first lesson in the Information Solutions section of National 3. ​

This lesson will teach you about HTML

Watch this video...

 

We use websites all the time in our every day lives to access information.​

The code behind webpages is called HTML​

This stands for Hyper Text Markup Language

 

HTML is written in tags that look like this: < >​

The basic tags you will need for this lesson are:​

<html>​

<head>​

<title>​

<body>​

The majority of tags work in pairs with <html> showing the start (a bit like a capital letter at the start of a sentence), and then a </html> at the end to show that the section is finished (a bit like a full stop).

  • You will need software to write your code – in these lessons we will use either Notepad or Notepad++​
  • You will also need a web browser, such as Chrome, Edge, Safari etc., that allows you to view your code as a webpage.
