HTML tags are basically small code commands to tell an internet browser how to display text and images.

These little commands are called tags. Tags nearly always come in pairs and appear between these symbols < >

Tags are hidden from the visitor to your site but tell the browser how to display text, links and images.

A quick example. If you wanted the words "Worlds Best" in the sentance below to appear bold on your page

This is the worlds best website

You would type the following

This is the <B>worlds best</B> website

<B> is the tag for bold text. So the <B> tells the browser where you want the bold text to start.

The </B> tells it where you want the bold text to stop.

You must make sure (with two exeptions which you can see as you work your way through this section of the knowledgebase) that you always close your tags. They are nearly always in pairs.

Now you can click back and find out what tags do what in html. The list we give isnt all of them but the ones you will use the most.
