HTML or HyperText Markup Language is a language for the creation of web pages. The syntax and layout of source texts is more or less similar to TeX.
Commands to format text are words or abbreviations preceded by a "<" and terminated by a ">" character. For example:
Some commands consist of an opening and a closing part. The closing part is the same as the opening part, but has a "/" preceding the word or abbreviation. The command works on the text enclosed in the opening and closing parts. For example:
The command names are case insensitive, so you may use UPPER or lower case (or a MIXturE) for the same command. I always use upper case, to make the commands better seperable from the actual page text.
Below is a list of links to pages with detailed information. Just click on an item of the list to get the desired page.
