This is a really quick overview of HTML basics. These basic HTML tags can be used with Manila or other web page development tools. Even if you use Word, Netscape Communicator or Dreamweaver to create web pages, it is good to know a little HTML as well.

  • Bold <B></B>
  • Italics <I></I>
  • Links <A HREF=""> </A>
  • Bullet list <UL> <LI> </UL>
  • Numbered list <OL> <LI> </OL>
  • Headings <H1></H1> <H6></H6>
  • New line <BR>
  • Horizontal line <HR>
  • Images <IMG>
  • Colors - font, background
