- We now have a webpage that's actually on the real-live internet!
- You've already made it!
- Now the only issue is putting what you want on your website.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- In this little series, we'll overview the basics of HTML and CSS,
- the two important languages that will allow you to make a stylish multi-page website.
- We will start with HTML.
- </p>
-
- <h2>HTML</h2>
-
- <p>
- HTML is the <strong>h</strong>yper<strong>t</strong>ext <strong>m</strong>arkup <strong>l</strong>anguage.
- It is the "language" that all webpages are written in so that all browsers can read and display them properly.
- </p>
- <p>
- A <dfn>markup language</dfn> is <em>not</em> the same as a programming language:
- Programming languages specify orders for a computer, while markup languages are ways of specifying the styling of text.
- Markup languages are necessary because computers run on mere text, not colors, sizes, headers and other styling things.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Let's understand what HTML is.
- In <a href="nginx.html">a previous article</a>, we put this text in your website's <code>index.html</code>.
- </p>
-
- <h3>Paragraphs</h3>
-
-<p>
-Note how this HTML file appears as a webpage:
-</p>
-
-
-
-<table class=cnp>
- <tr>
- <td>
-<pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
-&lt;h1&gt;My website!&lt;/h1&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;This is my website. Thanks for stopping by!&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Now my website is live!&lt;/p&gt;</code></pre>
- </td>
- <td>
-<img src=pix/nginx-website.png alt="The webpage as it appears.">
- </td>
- </tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>
-The content between the <code>&lt;p&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;/p&gt;</code> tag(s) is formatted as different paragraphs.
-If you don't use these <code>&lt;p&gt;</code> tags, the text will not be formatted as separate paragraphs even if you write it as
-multiple lines.
-Observe if we add lines to the end of this file:
-</p>
-
-<table class=cnp>
- <tr>
- <td>
-<pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
-&lt;h1&gt;My website!&lt;/h1&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;This is my website. Thanks for stopping by!&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Now my website is live!&lt;/p&gt;
-Here is some more text.
-There are no paragraph tags on this stuff.
-So it will all appear as one paragraph.
-Despite being on multiple lines.
-
-
-Even this!</code></pre>
- </td>
- <td>
-<img src=pix/html-01.png alt="On p tags">
- </td>
- </tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>
-This will seem strange at first, but this is the use of HTML as a markup
-language: it allows you to style your document with tags and write it in whatever way is convenient.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Let's learn more about what HTML can do.
-</p>
-
-
-<h3>Headings</h3>
-
-<p>
-In addition to paragraphs (<code>&lt;p&gt;</code>), we can specify headings with inside <code>&lt;h1&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;</code> tags.
-Heading tags are for your page's title and section headings in the document:
-</p>
-
-<ul>
- <li><code>&lt;h<strong>1</strong>&gt;&lt;/h<strong>1</strong>&gt;</code> &ndash; Main and largest headings</li>
- <li><code>&lt;h<strong>2</strong>&gt;&lt;/h<strong>2</strong>&gt;</code> &ndash; Subheadings (smaller)</li>
- <li><code>&lt;h<strong>3</strong>&gt;&lt;/h<strong>3</strong>&gt;</code> &ndash; Sub-subheadings (yet smaller)</li>
- <li><code>&lt;h<strong>4</strong>&gt;&lt;/h<strong>4</strong>&gt;</code> &ndash; Etc., etc.</li>
-</ul>
-
-
-<table class=cnp>
- <tr>
- <td>
-<pre><code>&lt;h1&gt;This is a top-level heading.&lt;/h1&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Here is some paragraph text.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;And here is some more...&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;h2&gt;This is a subheading (h2)&lt;/h2&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;And another paragraph.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;h2&gt;And here is another subheading (Also an h2)&lt;/h2&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Etc. etc...&lt;/p&gt;</code></pre>
- </td>
- <td>
-<img src=pix/html-02.png alt="On p and h# tags">
- </td>
- </tr>
-</table>
-
-<h4>A preview to CSS</h4>
-
-<p>
-It is very important to use headings like this for your pages.
-
-Notice that on this website, headings come in different colors, text-alignment and sizes for emphasis.
-If we use these heading tags, when we clear CSS, we can easily style all <code>&lt;h2&gt;</code>, for example,
-to be the size and color and alignment we want.
-</p>
-
-<h2>Text formatting</h2>
-
-<p>
-HTML can also be used to do text formatting.
-We can make bold, italic, underlined or struck through text with more HTML tags:
-</p>
-
-<table class=cnp>
- <tr>
- <td>
-<pre><code>&lt;p&gt;This is &lt;b&gt;bold text&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This is &lt;i&gt;italic text&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This is &lt;u&gt;underlined&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This is &lt;s&gt;struck through&lt;/s&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</code></pre>
- </td>
- <td>
- <img src="pix/html2-01.png" alt="formatted text">
- </td>
- </tr>
-</table>
-
- <h2>Semantic Tags</h2>
-
- <p>
- While <code>&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;</code>
- do exist, it's actually better <em>not</em> to use them directly in text.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Try using <code>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;</code> instead of <code>&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</code> instead of <code>&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;</code>.
- By default, they will look exactly the same.
- You complain that they require more key presses, but it's thought to be a very bad idea to modify lower-level tags with CSS directly.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Note that some bold words on this site have <strong>different color for emphasis</strong>.
- This is a setting set via CSS for all <code>&lt;strong&gt;</code> tags.
- It would not be a good idea for us to use this for <code>&lt;b&gt;</code>, since there might be a non-colored situation we want to occasionally use it in.
