HTML Code Reference
Here I'm going to include some HTML codes that you can refer to if you forget something. This will not be very detailed, as it is just meant for a reference, but if you already understand the concepts, know some code, but want to learn more, or have something to refer to if you forget, this could be useful. If you don't know much HTML, and you want to start from the beginning, I would recommend visiting Lissa Explains it All. I'm also planning to create a page on the site with a bunch of links to other sites to help with HTML. So, now it's time to begin on the codes.
Codes with Opening and Closing Tags:
<b>Text you want to
be bolded goes here</b>
<i>Italicized
text</i>
<u>Underlined
text</u>
<h1>Header text here
(You can change the number to something larger, and the header gets
smaller)</h1>
<center>Centered
text. You can also center text
using the next code.</center>
<div
align="center">Centered text.
You can change center to right or left to align it
differently.</div>
<font face="font name
goes here" size="size number here" color="color number here">You edit what is
in quotes, keeping the quotes, just changing what goes inside.
This is for changing what your text
looks like</font>
<a href="URL you want to
link to goes here">The title of where you're linking to goes here. This is for text
links.</a>
<textarea rows="number
here; 5 works well." cols="number
here; 20 works well" style="background-color:#background
color number goes here; font-family:font type goes here; color:#text color goes
here; border-style:solid">This is for text areas.
Text areas are particularly useful if
you want to have coding on your page that doesn't actually do what it would do
outside of a text box, for instance, if you wanted to give people a code to use
to put a background on their page, without putting the background on your
page. This is for really detailed
text areas. For the next code, I'll
just give you the code for a simple text
area.</textarea>
<textarea>A
simple text area, without giving you as much control over your text area, but it
is simpler to use.</textarea>
Codes without Closing Tags
<br>:
This is the break code; it is the equivalent of the enter
button in HTML.
<hr>:
This is a horizontal line code.
<img
src="IMAGE URL GOES HERE">: This is the image code.
<body
background="BACKGROUND URL GOES HERE">: This is the background
code.
Note that this is not nearly all of the HTML that exists, it is just some
of the codes I use most often.
Since I know I didn't include everything, and there is probably still
things you want to know how to do, I'm going to include some links to good HTML
websites. You can also try doing a
search for "HTML help", or something similar. I haven't necessarily used these sites,
or use them very often, but I do use some, and this is a good listing of places
to go if you want to learn more HTML.
Also, a comment; HTML is not the only code that you can use to design web
pages. Some other types include
CSS, Javascript, Perl, Java, and PHP.
HTML is just the simplest.
The next coding language to learn, if you know HTML pretty well, and want
to learn another way to make your web pages neat, is probably CSS. Try doing a search for "CSS help", if
you want to learn it. Also, some of
these links may have some CSS help as well. Have fun!
