Um ... a very stupid question

[pillsbury15]

I've noticed in the video info users put images and bold and all that I fell asleep in class when they were teaching HTML ... if that is HTML ... could anyone help me out.

<b>info</b>

Basically tags to difference the way words show up.
The tags you can use are mentioned there: a, i, u, b, em, strong, strike.

a is for links: <a href="link">link</a>. B for bold, u underlined, i italic, bla.
You can test them out the way nevergreen mentioned. I guess the link tag is the hardest to think of.

Do you mean something like this?

if so, it's part HTML and part CSS
You're only allowed to use <a>, <b>, <i>, <u>, <em>, <strong>, and <strike> in the video info page (<b>, <em> and <strong> all do pretty much the same thing...bold text)

usually, you'd need to use <img> to get a picture in...but you can use css to work around that.

I've written the specifics here, and eventually ended up re-explaining virtually every aspect in the second page of this thread

as a last note, w3schools is a good site to learn/brush up on HTML, CSS, Javascript and a bunch of other web development related stuff

Wait, wut, they teach HTML in schools now? That's great. In my day we had auto-CAD on the Apple II-e and some crappy MS Visual Basic on dime a dozen IBM compatibles. Never taught us anything useful like HTML...

Well, RTF, but that was us bringing it into the school, not the other way around...

I was actually thinking the same. Even though there was only one year with IT, and it was 5 years ago, they were teaching Pascal. Talk about useless things.

Oh coolio um thanks to everybody for answering so quickly

It's good for teaching procedural languages. It's also a pretty standard method of writing psudocode.

You might be right on that, and while syntax is the most important thing to learn off, I'm still thinking that 3 months of other language would have been of more use (yeah, only 3 months... what can you learn?).
