This is incredibly simple, and would not pass as a real website today, but
it does show the basic way in which HTML really works. Tags are nested
inside other tags, but that's not all; while not quite necessary, I have used
separate lines and indentation to make it easy to read our code.
I do this because anyone (including myself) who will inevitably come along
to alter the code for any reason will have a tougher time deciphering it if it
looks like this:
<html><h1>Example page</h1><br /><p>This is
an example page. A clickable link can be found <a
href="code-buddy.blogspot.com">here!</a></html>
While its certainly not impossible to read that particular piece of code,
keep in mind that coding can easily span hundreds of lines, very quickly. Many
decent pages have so many lines of code it would be a screwy task to even try
counting them all!
So, the point is, keep your code clean and clear, for both our sake, and
yours!
