Prerequisites:
You will need a text editor, such as Notepad and an Internet browser, such as Internet Explorer or
Netscape.
Q: What is Notepad and where do I get it?
A: Notepad is the default Windows text editor. On most Windows systems, click your Start
button and choose Programs then Accessories. It should be a little blue notebook.
Mac Users: SimpleText is the default text editor on the Mac. In OSX use TextEdit and change
the following preferences: Select (in the preferences window) Plain text instead of Rich text and
then select Ignore rich text commands in HTML files. This is very important because if you don't
do this HTML codes probably won't work.
One thing you should avoid using is a word processor (like Microsoft Word) for authoring your HTML
documents.
