Here are all the tags known to man (well, almost). They are
listed according to use. If you're looking for text
formatters, choose those. Frames, forms, and tables have
their own settings. Have fun!

Basics
- The basics cover the
tags you need in order for the page "to exist". This
doesn't include what goes in the page. Only what you need
in order for the browser to recognize that it truly is a
web page.
<html>
</html>
- The basic tag for every
page. This tells the browser that the file being loaded
is a HTML document. Please look at this basic layout of
any web page to see how it's used.
- <head>
</head>
- Head - defines the head
of your page. Includes the <title> </title> tag.
- <body>
</body>
- Allows you to define the
body arguments. This can include:
- background="file.gif"
- bgcolor="#rgbcode"
- text="#rgbcode"
- link="#rgbcode"
- vlink="#rgbcode"
- topmargin=
n - defines the top of the margin for the
body. - leftmargin=
n
- rightmargin=
n
For help with colors, try
this powerful Color
Program.
- <title>
</title>
- Title - allows you to
display a title at the top of the browser.
- <;meta>
- Meta Tags - allows the
owner to display certain information to the browser
without the page seeing it. Here are some examples:
<;meta
name="description" content="This is my page
description.">- describe your page
<;meta
name="keywords" content="word1, word2, word3,
word4"> -
enter keywords for your page
<;meta
HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="10;
url=index2.html"> - reloads the page after 10 seconds to
index2.html
<;meta
HTTP-EQUIV="text" content="This is my page
description.">
- another text tag
<;meta
HTTP-EQUIV="pragma"
content="no-cache"> - forces the browser not to cache the page.
Thus all hits are true.
<;meta
HTTP-EQUIV="expires" content="Mon, Feb 1997 12:12:12
EST"> - used
along with the previos tag to show the expiration of the
pages cache.
