It's easy to create your own HTML. So, before you go on to try
other methods, you should first try using a text editor to create a
simple HTML file. The first step is to find a suitable text editor
on your system. On Unix this easy -- all of the standard editors
are of this type. On Windoze systems there's a system-supplied text
editor called "NotePad" (or somesuch -- I don't do Windows). There
are also a great number of other suitable text editors available.
On a Mac, my favourite is "Edit II", but there are lots of others,
including the system-supplied "SimpleText" editor.
Once you've located a suitable editor, and created a "New"
document, try typing in some of the HTML discussed in the lecture
and tutorial. Save your creation to a disk file (normally with an
extension of .html
, or .HTM
on MS
systems), and then fire up a browser (Netscape, IE, etc). Use the
browser's "Open Local" menu (usually under the "File" menu -- it
may go by a different name, depending on the browser version) to
open your HTML document. Voila!
