An example will be given here, explaining how you can use a
standard word-processing package to automate the production of
HTML pages.
HTML is often identified with the web; but it is perfectly
possible to build an entire Internet site without using HTML.
Indeed, the Portable Document Format (PDF), associated to Adobe Acrobat,
provides an efficient alternative, as demonstrated by the
following example (example to be added
later).
Having your pages properly indexed is a key issue if you want
web-surfers to find them.
Unfortunately, submitting your URL is not sufficient: your
pages must include appropriate information, describing your page.
But not all search engines will process your pages the same way,
so that you should consider repeating the information.
In practice, it is appropriate:
- to give a title to your pages, and to include it in the
<HEAD> section;
- to write a short sentence describing the content of your
page and to include it both in the <HEAD> section
and right at the beginning of the <BODY> section;
- to add a number of additional keywords in the
<HEAD> section.
Your document will then look as follows:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="Insert
here a short description of your page!">
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="Insert
here additional keywords!">
<TITLE>Insert here a title!</TITLE>
..........................................
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>Insert here a short description
of your page, as above!</P>
..........................................
</BODY>
</HTML>
Guidelines and tips will be provided here, explaining how to
include images in your pages while avoiding deterrent delays.
