The HTML language uses tags. The tags do tasks like changing text size, aligning an image making a link or even making line breaks. You can even make data tables with HTML. The tags are enclosed
by < and >

The first and most basic tag is the <P> tag. This is called the paragraph tag and is used to skip a line. It is mainly used at the start of a paragraph. It is used to separate paragraphs or anything else.

The next basic tag is the <BR> tag. This tag is called the break tag and is used to make a line break. The <P> and <BR> tag are the two main format tags. In HTML you lose all of the pretty format on the web browser so you have to the tags like <P> and <BR> tags.

The next basic tag is the heading tag. This tag is used depending on the size of the text you wish to have. These tags are <H1> through <H6>. On the heading tags you must use and ending tag to tell the browser when to stop making the text that size. An ending tag would look like this </H1> You simply do that to end the tag on level one through six. You simply use a foreward slash as shown above.

The following is an example fof these three tags in a simple HTML document.

<H1>My Web Site</H1>
<P>Welcome to my web site. I have lots of information on my web site. Feel free to navigate the different areas here. Thank you for visiting. Look at the info below.

<P>
text<BR>
More text<BR>

That is what the page will look like in your text editor. The next page is an example of what the page will look like in your browser. Those tags work in all of the World Wide Web browsers as some tags don't work in all browsers. You must test your page on several browsers so you know all of your audience is seeing what you want them to see.
