HTML Basics
An HTML tag will always begin with a "less than" sign, like this: <. The
tags will end with a "greater than" sign, like this: >. An example would
be the tag used to underline text, <u>. You would place this before the
text you want to underline. This is called an opening tag, which begins
the operation you wish to perform. In order to end the underlining, you
must use a closing tag. A closing tag will be the same as the opening
tag, but will have a forward slash before the command, like this: </u>.
