Can someone explain to me how Notepad/WordPad is a html text editor. Can you tell me step by step how to do it

I am making layouts for my layouts site so people can use them. However when i put the code in a text box, the computer picks up the code. I believe when you use a html text editor, it re "does" the code, making it appear when i put it in my text box. Can someone please give me simple instructions how NotePad or WordPadcan help my problem! I have the html code already!

  1. do u think some one has time to type all that down?
  2. They are not HTML editors. They edit text. You can code HTML them, though. A step by step here is not feasible as it would take an entire book to explain writing HTML by hand.
  3. copy "the code" below in Notepad and save it as "mypage.html" After you save it simpy doubl;e click it and you should see the page open in your default browser. Basically Notepad can not create pages for you, you need to type some html in there and save it as "html" file. Use Yahoo to search for html and you can learn how to create basic pages in no time. ------------ copy below and paste in Notepad --------- <html> <head> <title>my first page</title> </head> <body bgcolor=white text=black link=navy vlink=navy> <center> <h1>this is my first webpage</h1> </center> </body> </html> ------------ end of "code" ---------
  4. The problem is that a HTML editor hides the html from you. This way you can concentrate on what you're trying to say instead of learning a scripting language. When you use notepad, you can type in the html tags and they won't be interpreted by notepad. Then when you bring it up in your browser, if it's properly created, you'll get a web page. You should pick up one of the many basic HTML how to books. It'll teach you the basic code tags you need to use to build a web page. When you can right click on the answers page and correctly identify all the tags, you'll be ready to use notepad to create html pages.
