HTML - Get Started
You don't need any tools to learn HTML at Leakbali.com.
- You don't need any HTML editor
- You don't need a web server
- You don't need a web site
In this tutorial we use a plain text editor (like Notepad) to edit HTML. We believe this is the best way to learn HTML. You can use a free editor like
Programmer Notepad with special feature.
However, professional web developers often prefer HTML editors like FrontPage or Dreamweaver, instead of writing plain text.
If you just want to learn HTML, skip the rest of this chapter.
If you want to create a test page on your own computer, just copy the 3 files below to your desktop.
(Right click on each link, and select "save target as" or "save link as")
mainpage.htm
tes1.htm
tes2.htm
After you have copied the files, you can double-click on the file called "mainpage.htm" and see your first web site in action.
When you save an HTML file, you can use either the .htm or the .html file extension. We use .htm in our examples. It is a habit from the past, when the software only allowed three letters in file extensions.
With new software it is perfectly safe to use .html.
