About HTML

HTML code is automatically generated by Fireworks when you export, copy, or update HTML. You do not need to understand it to use it. After it is generated there is no need to change it to make it work, as long as you do not rename or move files.

HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is currently the standard for displaying web pages on the Internet. An HTML file is a text file that contains these elements:

• Text that will appear on the web page
• HTML tags that define the formatting and structure of that text and of the entire document as well as links to images and other HTML documents (web pages)

  HTML tags are enclosed in brackets and look something like this:

   <TAG> affected text </TAG> 

  The opening tag tells a browser to format the text following in a certain way or to include a graphic. The closing tag (</TAG>), when there is one, indicates the end of that formatting.
