Description

Most pages on the Web are formatted in a special code called HyperText Markup Language, or HTML. Every person producing content for the Web should be familiar with the basics of HTML. Even if you are using a powerful HTML editor, such as Dreamweaver, troubleshooting is easier if you understand the HTML code.

In this class, you will learn how to create and modify a basic HTML document. You will learn to use formatting tags, link to other documents, preview documents, and put them on a web server.
