How to create HTML pages Using Notepad or TextEdit?

Professional HTML editors can be used to design and modify web pages.

However, a simple text editor such as Notepad (PC) or TextEdit (Mac) is recommended for learning HTML (Mac).

We feel that learning HTML is best accomplished by utilising a simple text editor.

To make your first web page with Notepad or TextEdit, follow the steps below.

Windows 8 and up:

Activate the Start Screen (the window symbol at the bottom left on your screen). Notepad is a text editor.

Windows 7 (or previous versions):

Open Notepad by going to Start > Programs > Accessories > Notepad.

Windows 10 > Only click on search > Click On Notepad

TextEdit may be found in Finder > Applications > TextEdit.

Change a few options as well to get the programme to store files appropriately. Choose “Plain Text” from Preferences > Format.

Then, under “Open and Save,” select “Display HTML files as HTML code rather than formatted text.”

Then create a new document in which to paste the code.

In Notepad, type or copy the following HTML code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Heading</h1>

<p>My first paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

Save the file to your hard drive. In the Notepad menu, go to File > Save as.

Set the encoding to UTF-8 and name the file “index.htm” (which is the preferred encoding for HTML files).

As a file extension, you can use either.htm or.html. It makes no difference; it is all up to you.

Open the HTML file in your preferred browser (double click on the file, or right-click – and choose “Open with”).
