                 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, 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 within 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 (>).
