Creating HTML Documents

HTML files are Plain text (ascii) format, created using any text editor.

BBEdit Lite is the recommended text editor for this course.

Many WYSIWYG HTML editors exist. Claris Home Page is available on the Departments Macintosh computers. Netscape Communicator also has a built in editor.

It is however recommended that you at least learn the basics of HTML tagging before you dive into WYSIWYG editing as this mask the programming issues and ultimately hinders the learning process.

We will look at Home Page later.
