How to Update Text in an HTML File
- 1). Open the text you want to edit in a text editor.
- 2). Update the page title within an HTML file by finding the <HEAD> tag. Then add or modify the <TITLE> tag as follows (and replace the content between <title></title>):
<title>Untitled Document</title> - 3). Update keywords within a HTML file within the <HEAD> tag by modifying the following (and replacing the content for "keyword1, keyword2"):
<meta name="keywords" content="keyword1, keyword2" /> - 4). Scroll down to the <BODY> tag in your HTML file. Then find the text you want to change or remove and add your own.
- 5). Add a line break after a sentence or paragraph by adding "<br/>" after the text. To double-space, use the <P> tag as follows (and replace the text within the tag):
<p>Your paragraph goes here</p> - 6). Make the text within your HTML file bold by surrounding it with the <B> tag as follows, then replace the words with your content:
<b>The words you want to emphasize</b> - 7). Add an underline to a word by surrounding it with the <U> tag as follows, then replace the words with your content:
<u>The words you want to underline go here</u> - 8). Italicize words within your page with the <I> tag as follows (and replace the words with your content):
<i>The words you want to italicize</i> - 9). Use the anchor <A> tag to create a link to a page or email address in your HTML file as follows (then replace the link with the correct web address or email address):
<a href="/links/?u=http://www.some-web-site.com/some-page.html">Link to Page</a> or <a href="/links/?u=mailto:myemail@email.com">My Email</a> - 10
Resave the changes you made to the HTML file by selecting "File" and "Save" from the toolbar. To rename the file, choose "File" and "Save As" instead, and add the page name you want to use. Be sure to include the .HTML or .HTM file extension before clicking on "Save."
