To mark a text string in a way that either attaches visual characteristics to the text (such as boldface type), or categorizes it as an identifiable document element (such as a a document citation). Tagging text strings in this way allows HTML viewers to identify the strings and to display them appropriately.

Lets you go to a different location (target) in the current HTML document or to a specific location in a different document. The user must explicitly follow the link (usually by clicking on it) to reach the target location.

An acronym for Hyper Text Markup Language, the standard markup language in use on the World Wide Web. When you author a document using HTML, it can be viewed by any browser or player on the Web.

An HTML document that is the primary or index document that represents an individual or a larger entity, such as a company.

Displays an image on an HTML page without actually storing the image in the HTML file. The image resides in a separate image file, and the HTML document stores only the file's location in the filesystem. The image is displayed automatically; the user doesn't need to explicitly follow a link to view the image. WebMagic can display only JPEG and GIF images as inline images.

To assign structural characteristics to a text paragraph. For example, many documents include headings (short text strings that introduce a new section) and body text (the content that appears within a section). MORE...

The directory on your own system in which you create and refine HTML documents. To simplify publishing, this directory should also contain all local files that the HTML document references via links. When a document is ready to publish on the Web, you copy the project root directory and all its relevant subdirectories onto the web server.

A location within an HTML document or an external file that a user can view by following a link.

An acronym for Universal Resource Locator, the URL is the unique identity of each document and file that is available on the Web. The URL typically consists of three components: the protocol used to retrieve the content, the domain name of the web server, and the pathname of the document or file.

The process of stripping the pathname of your project root directory from all local files to which your HTML document links. This makes all links relative rather than absolute (none of the links begin with /) so that you can copy the entire project root directory and all its subdirectories onto a web server and keep all links intact. Once the directory is copied onto the web server, documents in that directory are considered to be published on the web.

The shorthand name for the World Wide Web, this refers to the body of information available on the Internet.
