'''Making a webpage'''

The first thing to know is that there are many different codes used on the [[internet]].

*[[Html]]
**[[Javascript]]
**[[VBSScript]]
**[[Xml]]
**[[CSS]] (more about that later)
*[[Perl]]
*[[Phtml]]
*[[Asp]]

And many many more.
This walkthrough will teach you how to use HTML and maybe at a later date,
Javascript and Perl.

==What each webpage is composed of==

Each webpage has a web-header, and a web body. It is composed of elements. An element is also sometimes called a tag, and looks like this:

:<nowiki><html></nowiki>
:<nowiki><head></nowiki> <--- The start of the header.
:<nowiki><title>Foobar</title></nowiki> <--- The title.
:<nowiki></head></nowiki> <--- The end of the header.
:<nowiki><body></nowiki> <--- The body
:<nowiki><h1>Hello world!</h1></nowiki>
:<nowiki><br>Hello world!<br></nowiki>
:<nowiki></body></nowiki>
:<nowiki></html></nowiki>

As you can see, they all (the elements) all end with another tag, apart from <nowiki><br></nowiki> which denotes a new line. If you typed that into a [[text editor]] and then saved it as "index.html" with those quote marks around it, you will have a new webpage all your own!

==Different tags you can use==

(see also [[HTML tag]])

<nowiki><i> </i></nowiki> <-- These make writing between the two ''italics''.

<nowiki><b> </b></nowiki> <-- These make writing between the two '''bold'''.

<nowiki><font size="''insert a number from 1-7" color="''insert a color''" align="''choose left, center, or right''"> </font></nowiki>
:With that tag, it enables you to choose the look of all the writing between the tag. The size, color, and align are self-explanatory.

But you should know, that where [[Internet Explorer]] and the newer [[Netscape Navigator]] support written colours such as "Red" and "Blue", to be compatible and to get certain colors you must use a system called [[hexadecimal]]. White would be #ffffff . Black is #000000 .

<nowiki><img src="''insert an image address here''"></nowiki> <-- you insert an image using that tag.

<nowiki><object src="''type an address''" type="''choose a type''"></nowiki>
:/\- this can insert not only an image but other things too.

<nowiki><a href="''insert a webpage address''">''Write here what the link should say''</a></nowiki>
:This one is probably the most important of all. It links to another web-page.

==Css and the new standards==

Html is governed by the [http://www.w3c.com W3C], and the new standard is HTML 4.0 which uses CSS, short for [[Cascading Style Sheets]].
