HTML Editors
A simple
text editor is all you need to learn HTML.
Learn HTML Using Notepad or TextEdit
Web pages
can be created and modified by using professional HTML editors.
However,
for learning HTML we recommend a simple text editor like Notepad (PC) or
TextEdit (Mac).
We
believe in that using a simple text editor is a good way to learn HTML.
Follow
the steps below to create your first web page with Notepad or TextEdit.
Step 1: Open Notepad (PC)
Windows 8 or later:
Open
the Start Screen (the
window symbol at the bottom left on your screen). Type Notepad.
Windows 7 or earlier:
Open Start > Programs > Accessories > Notepad
Step 1: Open TextEdit (Mac)
Open Finder > Applications > TextEdit
Also
change some preferences to get the application to save files
correctly. In Preferences > Format
> choose "Plain
Text"
Then
under "Open and Save", check the box that says "Display HTML
files as HTML code instead of formatted text".
Then open a new document to place the code.
Step 2: Write Some HTML
Write or
copy the following HTML code into Notepad:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
Step 3: Save the HTML Page
Save the
file on your computer. Select File >
Save as in the Notepad menu.
Name the
file "index.htm" and
set the encoding to UTF-8 (which
is the preferred encoding for HTML files).
Tip: You can use either .htm or .html as file extension. There is
no difference, it is up to you.
Step 4: View the HTML Page in Your Browser
Open the
saved HTML file in your favorite browser (double click on the file, or
right-click - and choose "Open with").
The
result will look much like this:
With our
free online editor, you can edit the HTML code and view the result in your
browser.
It is the
perfect tool when you want to test code
fast. It also has color coding and the ability to save and share code with
others:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a Heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
