Introduction to HTML.
* HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.
* HTML file is a text file containing small Markup tags.
* The Markup tags tell the Web browser how to display the page.
* HTML file must have an html file extension.
* HTML file can be created using a simple text editor.
HTML Tutorial!
* If you are running Windows, start Notepad. If you are on a Mac, start Simple Text.
* There is no need to change anything in Notepad if you are running Windows.
* In OSX start Text Edit and change the following preferences:
* Open the the Format menu and select Plain text instead of Rich text.
* Then open the Preferences window under the Text Edit menu and select Ignore rich text commands in HTML files.
* Your HTML code will probably not work if you do not change the preferences above.
Copy & Paste the following in your text file.
<html>
<head>
<title>Title of page</title>
</head>
<body>
This is my first homepage. <strong>This text is bold</strong>
</body>
</html>
* Save the file as mypage.html.
* Now, right click on mypage.html.
* Select Open With and click on Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
* Now your page will be displayed on your Web Browser.
Understanding HTML
* The first tag in your HTML document is <html>. This tag tells your browser that this is the start of an HTML document.
* The last tag in your document is </html>. This tag tells your browser that this is the end of the HTML document.
* The text between the <head> tag and the </head> tag is header information. Header information is not displayed in the Browser Window.
* The text between the <title> tags is the title of your document. The title is displayed in your Browser's caption.
* The text between the <body> tags is the text that will be displayed in your Browser.
* The text between the <strong> and </strong> tags will be displayed in a Bold font.

Unless I’m mistaken the <b> tag been depreciated in favor of the <strong> tag. The <i> or ‘italics’ tag was also replaced by the <em> tag.

Pretty sure <b> and <i> are deprecated. They should be replaced with <strong> and <em> respectively.
EDIT: I've updated the first post in this thread to reflect the change in standards.
