                 Types of HTML Editor

                 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 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 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.

                 With the help of tags, a web browser can distinguish between an HTML content and a simple content.
                 In HTML document, a tag name begins with an opening angular bracket (<) and  ends with closing
                 angular bracket (>). For example,

                 HTML tags contain three main parts: opening tag, content and closing tag. But some HTML tags are
                 unclosed tags.

                                            <TagName> content </TagName>



                                              Opening tag                    Closing tag



                                                                                      #Introduction to  HTML5 & CSS3  75
