- <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
This is used to denote the start of the body - optional
attributes, like bgcolor, can be used to specify
the background color of the page (colors are specified
in their hexadecimal form - see http://www.htmlhelp.org/
for a listing).
- <h3>A level 3 heading</h3>
This is used to render the text within the opening
<h3> tag and the closing </h3> tag
as a level 3 heading. There are 6 such levels - level
1 is very prominant, and level 6 is the least prominant.

This makes the enclosed text a distinct paragraph.
- <img src="some_image.png" />
This inserts the image, specified by the src attribute
of the img tag, at that

jpg, and gif images right within the browser
window - for some other image formats, an external
program may be used.
- <a href="http://www.disney.com/">link text</A>
This is used to make links to other pages, either extrnal,

attribute of the a (anchor) tag, or local, if no
protocol is specified. The enclosed text will be displayed
typically underlined in a different color - when the
cursor hovers over it, typically it changes from an arrow
to a hand, and if the user clicks on that link, the browser
is directed to the page specified by href.
