By now you should have a pretty good idea of how to build Web pages using HTML. We've learned that HTML documents are simply text files with special instructions inserted. These instructions or tags control how information is displayed by Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. Tags allow you to format text, use lists, create hypertext links to other documents, and use graphics and color in your document.

We also saw how to use Notepad, Windows simple text editor, to create HTML documents. You should keep in mind that any editor or word processor can be used, as long as the HTML document is saved in ASCII (or plain text) format. If you have WordPerfect or Microsoft Word documents that you want to convert to HTML, you can add the tags in the word processor. Just make sure you use the Save As option to create an ASCII file.

In this final part, we'll briefly cover a few topics which will help you make your Web documents available to others on the Internet.
