How to use html ?

A simple introduction to html tags.

If you want to fill a body text with html, you have to know at least some basic html tags.

Caution:

  Do not use <body>, <html>, <title>, <meta>, <style>, <base> etc. 
  These tags are already present in the components that are wrapped around your content. 
  Your page will malfunction if these tags are included in your body text.
  If you upload html content from a file, edit the code to remove these tags,
  which are usually inserted automatically by html editors.
