"Hi. I'm Dorian Winterfeld on behalf of Expert Village. I've been doing web programming for about ten years. And, today we are going to cover the basics of HTML. A HTML document is a text file. There are a lot of HTML editors out there, for instance, a famous one is out from Media Dreamweaver. And, there are many others. But, I am going to use good old Window's Notepad which comes with everybody's Windows computer. There are other text editors on the Mac and you can use the one of your choice. This is Window's Notepad and we're going to start with a blank window. All HTML files begin with the opening tag, H-T-M-L. And, you'll notice that it starts with an opening carrot and it closes with a closing carrot. It's a less than and a greater than symbol. And, I'm going to type something, and I'm going to explain to you what I'm doing. This is considered the closing tag of our document. You'll notice it's the same as the opening tag with a slash in front of the tag. So, we open with HTML, this is called the opening tag. This is called the closing tag, HTML/HTML. All web pages in the internet start and end with HTML. That's to identify the document as a HTML file. "
