What You Need
You don't need any tools to learn HTML at W3Schools.- You don't need an HTML editor
- You don't need a web server
- You don't need a web site
Editing HTML
In this tutorial we use a plain text editor (like Notepad) to edit HTML. We believe this is the best way to learn HTML.However, professional web developers often prefer HTML editors like FrontPage or Dreamweaver, instead of writing plain text.
Use Your Test Web For Learning
We suggest you experiment with everything you learn at W3Schools by editing your web files with a text editor (like Notepad).Note: If your test web contains HTML markup tags you have not learned, don't panic. You will learn all about it in the next chapters.
.HTM or .HTML File Extension?
When you save an HTML file, you can use either the .htm or the .html file extension. We use .htm in our examples. It is a habit from the past, when the software only allowed three letters in file extensions.With new software it is perfectly safe to use .html.
