and now, at last, the html editor

Here, at last, is the html editor. I've typed a file name in the Filename box. When I click Save, it'll create that file. (An html web page file ends in .html. You have to supply that extension ... the editor doesn't do it for you.)

The editor itself has provided the basic framework for a web page. Its details are gone over endlessly in other literature about using html, designing web pages, etc. They aren't that important! We're going to do things with this framework that don't look much like any kind of standard practice. The elements of the framework, as seen here, are functional, with respect to normal web building, but with regard to the kind of web building we're going to be doing, they are simply relics of another time. I'll take a look at how they function in normal use some time later, but, for now, I'm just going to ignore the subject, and we'll get to work on making things happen on this new home page.

This is, however, the framework for a web page, and we will begin writing our code in this framework (and in this text editor).
