                  Types of HTML Editor


                  There are mainly two types of HTML editors: WYSIWYG editors and Text editors. Let us now
                  discuss these editors.
                  WYSIWYG Editor

                  WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get. This type of editor allows the developer
                  to see what the end result will look like when the document is created. These editors provide
                  various tools and graphical interfaces for designing web pages. Examples of WYSIWYG editors
                  are Adobe Dreamweaver, Amaya and Google Web Designer.
                  Text Editor

                  We can create HTML documents using normal text editors like Notepad or Wordpad. The user
                  should have a proper knowledge of the HTML commands to develop a web page in Text Editor.

                      TAGS AND ATTRIBUTES

                  As we know that HTML is a markup language. It uses tags to markup the content of the web
                  pages. These tags also have attributes. Let us learn more about tags and attributes.
                  Tags


                  Tags are the basic building blocks of a web page. They tell the browser how the information is
                  to be displayed on the web page. Tags do not appear in the browser window but they affect the
                  display of the text and non-text items in it. Each tag in HTML follows specific rules and syntax.
                  HTML tags are not case-sensitive.
                  In HTML document, a tag name begins with an opening angular bracket (<) and  ends with
                  closing angular bracket (>). For example,
                                                <TagName> content </TagName>




                                               Opening tag                    Closing tag
