== Step 1: ==

Create a separate directory where you are going to store your file(s).

== Step 2: ==

Open your favorite text editor. I would suggest for this first file, use NOTEPAD because it loads very fast, and no matter how many copies you open, it doesn't act fussy.

== Step 3: ==

Write these two lines first, as they are visible here:

Your entire web page is going to exist withinrepparttar confines of these two tags. I suggest you writerepparttar 118049 closing tag as soon as you writerepparttar 118050 opening tag so that later on, when there are too many tags, you don't get mixed up.

At this moment, you can saverepparttar 118051 file inrepparttar 118052 new directory you just created. Remember while saving, if you are using NotePad, that while writingrepparttar 118053 name ofrepparttar 118054 file, for instance, firstpage.html, you have to enclose it within quotes in order to save it as an HTML page: "firstpage.html".

NOTE: Due to character per line limitations, some ofrepparttar 118055 HTML text may appear broken, but when you are typing in your text editor, press enter only when you have typedrepparttar 118056 closing tag, for instance,

.

Inrepparttar 118057 following two sections, you get to get your hands dirty with pure viscera of HTML.

Beginning XML - Part II (XML Style Language)

Written by Amrit Hallan


Continued from page 1

One area where XML is anticipated to be particularly important is inrepparttar area of electronic commerce.

Traditional mechanisms for electronic data interchange (EDI) are based onrepparttar 118048 interchange of messages betweenrepparttar 118049 computer systems of two or more businesses. Each message has to be decoded before its contents can be processed or presented to users. Web-based commerce has, by contrast, been based onrepparttar 118050 concept of completing an HTML form and then postingrepparttar 118051 results back torepparttar 118052 server for processing, without any details ofrepparttar 118053 transaction being retained byrepparttar 118054 party completingrepparttar 118055 form.

XML-coded files are, by their nature, ideal for storing in databases. Because XML files are both object-orientated and hierarchical in nature they can be adapted to virtually any type of database, though care sometimes needs to be taken to ensure that enough structural data is retained inrepparttar 118056 database to reconstructrepparttar 118057 original file.

Data stored using non-XML notations will need appropriate application software to process it, butrepparttar 118058 XML-coded file will correctly identify where each piece of such data belongs inrepparttar 118059 completed document and where it has been stored prior to use.

By storing data inrepparttar 118060 clearly defined format provided by XML you can ensure that your data will be transferable to a wide range of hardware and software environments. New techniques in programming and processing data will not affectrepparttar 118061 logical structure of your document's message. If more detail needs to be added torepparttar 118062 file all you need to do is to updaterepparttar 118063 model and then add new markup tags where required inrepparttar 118064 document instance. If a completely new style is required thenrepparttar 118065 existing document model can be linked torepparttar 118066 new one to provide automatic updating of document structures.
