The best examples of HTML are on the Internet. If you see an interesting page, click on VIEW SOURCE CODE. You can then look at the HTML codes that created the effect you like.
If you like something: go ahead and copy and paste it. Then you change the text to fit your own page.

In Explorer, click on View Source, (or right click on a page and select view source)
to see the HTML code for the page you are looking at.

Click on the source to view the HTML codes for this page. Somewhere near the bottom is the following list in
HTML Source code

First item
Second item
Third item

You will see no more fancy graphics, fonts or text. Everything is plain text with tags that tell the software how to display these items in your browser.

This is the source code for the bulleted list above. Can you find it in your source code?
