HTML documents, which are web documents, can be created, developed, and edited using a simple text editor. A text editor is an application used for word processing such as Microsoft Word and similar programs. But, the simplest text editor compatible with Windows Operating Systems is Notepad, which is a bundled application with Windows Operating Systems, and it acts as a fast and easy HTML encoder as well.
The
Notepad application provides web developers and designers a platform that is simple yet effective when it comes to HTML encoding. HTML encoding is used to create, develop, and edit documents in either .html or in .htm format. Armed with adequate knowledge on the HTML coding language and Notepad, you can easily create and edit web documents with ease and accuracy.
Once becoming knowledgeable on the HTML coding language, all you need to do is place the
codes in Notepad. Once finished encoding the HTML tags and strings, you must save the document with the .html file extension, and what you would get after doing just so is a web document, or a .html file. It is advisable for you to first save your document in .txt format so as to easily edit or customize codes in document for the necessary improvements of the pages on your website.
