HTML Lesson 5: How to write HTML

HTML can be written in many different text editors- in fact, it can even be written in Microsoft Notepad! There are also in-browser options, such as Replit. Personally, I like to use Visual Studio Code, since the color coding of tags makes the whole process much easier. To begin, all you have to do is create an HTML file and you're all set to start typing!

  1. HTML is easy to start with- you can even write HTML using Notepad.
  2. VSCode is a great software to get started with HTML, and it handles many programming languages as well.
  3. There are also plenty of in-browser options to choose from when writing HTML.
