HTML Codes

HTML Codes /  Tags

HTML codes are used to create web pages. Each tag has a specific purpose, such as formatting text, adding music, videos or creating links, tables and forms.

The HTML codes chart below provides you with a variety of HTML tags and tips to assist you. You simply locate the coding you’d like and copy and paste it into the HTML portion of your web page.

How to Copy and Paste Codes

To copy and paste the HTML codes from the HTML chart below into the HTML of your web page, place your mouse pointer over the beginning of the HTML code you would like to copy. Next, click and hold your left mouse button and drag your mouse over all the HTML code you would like to copy (This text is highlighted). Your HTML code should now be highlighted. Go to “Edit” – “Copy” on your web browser’s toolbar and then place your cursor within your HTML code where you would like to place the code. Right click on your mouse and go to “Paste.” Your HTML code should now be displaying within your HTML document.

For additional information about coding in HTML, see the ‘How to Code in HTML‘ section.
