When you're creating Web pages, you use HTML — a lot! The following sample shows the HTML formatting and codes you use to create headings and titles, lists, lines, and images as well as boldface and italicized type, not to mention how to include a link.

<!-- Text between angle brackets is an HTML tag and is not displayed.
Most tags, such as the HTML and /HTML tags that surround the contents of
a page, come in pairs; some tags, like HR, for a horizontal rule, stand 
alone. Comments, such as the text you're reading, are not displayed when
the Web page is shown. The information between the HEAD and /HEAD tags is 
not displayed. The information between the BODY and /BODY tags is displayed.-->
<head> <title>Enter a title, displayed at the top of the window.</title> </head> <!-- The information between the BODY and /BODY tags is displayed.--> <body> <h1>Enter the main heading, usually the same as the title.</h1> <p>Be <b>bold</b> in stating your key points. Put them in a list: </p> <ul> <li>The first item in your list</li> <li>The second item; <i>italicize</i> key words</li> </ul> <p>Improve your image by including an image. </p> <p><img src="http://www.mygifs.com/CoverImage.gif" alt="A Great HTML Resource"></p> <p>Add a link to your favorite <a href="http://www.dummies.com/">Web site</a>. Break up your page with a horizontal rule or two. </p> <hr> <p>Finally, link to <a href="page2.html">another page</a> in your own Web site.</p> <!-- And add a copyright notice.-->
