How to Create an HTML File
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language, and it is one of the most common programming languages found in Internet programming. As with any programming language, much is to be learned to become a master at HTML, and when used in conjunction with CSS, the web design possibilities expand. The first thing that you need to know, though, is how to create an HTML file, which you can do very easily with the simple Notepad program.

Tips & Warnings
Open your file in your Web browser to see if it saved properly. If it did, you should see the contents of your webpage in your browser.
Beware of improperly typing one of the tags or putting them in the incorrect order, for your HTML file will not show up in your Web browser if you do.
