If you know the HTML then just type as you go. for an example, here is a blank web page:



%26lt;html%26gt;



%26lt;head%26gt;

%26lt;meta http-equiv=';Content-Type'; content=';text/html; charset=gb2312';%26gt;

%26lt;title%26gt;Learning html%26lt;/title%26gt;

%26lt;/head%26gt;



%26lt;body%26gt;



%26lt;/body%26gt;



%26lt;/html%26gt;
Well you use notepad, paste your HTML code in there %26amp; save the file as:
