The first thing you want to do is aquaint yourself with HTML. This
stands for Hypertext Markup Language, and it is the language that is
used to create Pages for the Internet. To a newcomer it can be a bit
intimidating, but you will soon find that learning it, is rather simple.
The answer to this is Yes and No. While this page you are reading here was totally done with Dos Edit.Com. A beginner will want to get a good Editor so you learn what all the HTML commands are. When you feel comfortable with it, you too can produce simple pages like this from the Dos Editor.
I think one of the best ways to learn to produce pages, is when you find a page that you like with your browser, save it to disk, and then go in and view the HTML code in there, and see how it makes it all work. You can learn a lot from doing it this way. For starters, if you are currently in navigator, click on View, and then External. You will see the source text for this page.
Also, contact your sysop, he may have a file area all setup with programs
and sample pages for you to Download to enhance your knowledge of producing good
HTML Pages.
