Creating HTML pages
HTML code is the underlying tagged code which your web site visitor's
Internet browser reads, interprets and formats your page according to the tags
used. The code and tags used are the instructions to which a page will be
formatted, and as such it is vital that the code is correctly structured and
conforms to HTML convention.
WebPlus supports the development of web pages in pure W3C-compliant
HTML. You can add pages within the Site tab's Site Structure window—a
distinct HTML page icon is shown.
HTML pages in the Site tab can be controlled in a similar way to standard
pages, i.e. you can drag/drop, rename, preview, insert offline links to, estimate
download time for any page. However, HTML pages do not have master
pages associated with them, In addition, a double-click of the HTML page
icon will launch the HTML page's Source window for HTML editing (rather
than the WYSIWYG display of a standard page). In the Source window you'll
see some basic HTML tags which, if you're an experienced HTML developer,
will be very familiar to you!
There is no WYSIWYG view when you work with HTML source code
directly.
From this point, a text-based edit of the "template" HTML structure is
required. Body text can be pasted between the <body> and </body> tags, with
each paragraph beginning and ending in <p> and </p>, respectively. It's worth
noting that editing HTML code requires prior understanding of HTML
language and its convention. Poor editing may result in corruption of your
code on the page or site level.
