IF you do use a word processor for
you HTML development, by very careful. Many recent word processors are
including HTML modes or Mechanisms for creating HTML or XML mode. This feature
can produce unusual results or files that simply don’t behave as you expect. If
you run into trouble with a word processor, try using a text editor and see
whether it helps.
What about the plethora of free and
commercial HTML editors that claim to help you write HTML more easily? Some are
text editors that simplify common tasks associated with HTML coding. If you’ve
got one of these editors, go ahead and use it. If you’ve got a fancier editor
that claims to hide all the HTML for you, put it aside for the next couple of
says and try using a plaintext editor just for a little while. Appendix a,
“sources for further information”, lists many URLs where you can download free
and commercial HTML editors that are available for different platforms. They
appear in the section titled “HTML editors and
converters ” (in appendix a)
Open your text editor and type the
following code. You don’t have to understand what any of it means at this
point. You’ll learn more about much of this today and tomorrow. This simple
example is just to get you started.
<! DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
“-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 transitional //EN”
