Back to our jumping computer analogy.
If you could tell the computer to jump, it would keep jumping until it crashed. To get a computer to stop jumping, you'd need another command - another tag. Here's how to tell the computer to stop jumping: - </jump>
The slash means stop, so this command is easy to understand too. Every command you start, you must tell the computer to stop. That slash is a powerful tool.
So far you have learned one HTML tag.
- <HTML>
As you might have guessed, you would put this at the beginning of a document to tell the computer what language you'll be speaking. Similarly, you'll need to tell it to stop at the end of the document. The command is simple.
- </HTML>
Let's put those together. If you were going to make an HTML document using the only two codes you know, it would look something like this:
Believe it or not, that's a webpage! It doesn't actually do anything yet, but you told the computer to read HTML and then to stop reading HTML. Pretty neat for your second lesson.
