Introduction::
---------------
HTML is a language which consists of 'tags'
It is not a programming language, however it is a scripting language.
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language
And it is used all over the internet, it is the language used to create websites.
It turns scripting tags, into objects that appear on a screen(website).
The Following is basic HTML document, whihc i will explain all setions of.
The general syntax for a tag is Insert stuff here
you see the relevance of the / in the second tag?
It lets the computer know where to begin and end its tag(function).
<--- Lets the computer know its a HTML document.
<--- Head is the 'behind the scenes section,
Predefined things are inserted in here
<--- This lets the comp know the head tag has ended
<--- The body tag is the 'vual' part of the document.
This is where all the work is done on the page.
Everything you see on the website, is inserted into here
Using Various Tags :)
<--- End of body tag, end of scripting
<--- LEts the computer know its the End of the HTML Document.
-----------------------------
Creating our HTML Document::
-----------------------------
So far we have our standard structure of our HTML Document.
Now i will show you how to create a .htm or .html file.
Commonly, everyone does their HTML coding in Notepad.
So the standard file externsion is .txt, however,
we want it.html right? so instead of clicking save.
We go to 'save as' the filename should be 'something'
or 'something.txt' now edit that to, 'helloworld.html'
and change the 'save as type' from text document to 'All Files'
now that will let the computer know its changing from a .txt to .html successfully
However, make sure u change the 'save as type' to all files as,
if you don't then it will save it as 'helloworld.html.txt' (still a txt file)
Now you shoudl be able to click on your file and it will open with your Web Browser.
Now that we have created our first HTML document.
You will like to edit it(obviously)
So close down your text editor and right click on the HTML you just
created and open with notepad.
I will begin by showing a few kewl tags :o)

The
Tag::
---------------
For now, all these tags will be inserted into the
tag.
This stands for paragraph, and when your putting text onto your site,
this is a good method of doing it. I will also show you how to align your text
on the page.
Hello Worlld This is my First HTML Document :D w00t
------------------
The Tag::
------------------
You can also use the tag to display text and set alot of properties to it.
Example:
Hello World
Note, normalally colors are defined with HEX Values. Like Follows.
#FFFFFF - White
#000000 - Black
However, simple colors (red) can be written in text. and i have used it for ease of use :)
This command will have red text, font size 5 and be aligned right on the screen.
Some Text Based Tags.
text here - Makes your text bold !
text here - Makes your text italic !
text here - Makes your text underlined !
If you use
then after you have closed your tags. And do another
