                  There are mainly two types of HTML editors named WYSIWYG editor and Text editor. 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 where the web pages are designed. 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.


                         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 their 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.
