Understanding Web Pages

Before we take a look at how Calc can be used to create simple HTML documents, a brief explanation of how Web pages and Web sites work is in order. Even the simplest Web site you find on the World Wide Web (WWW) consists of multiple HTML documents that are linked by a series of hyperlinks (more about hyperlinks in the section “Working with Hyperlinks”).

Web sites provide a home page that serves as the index for the rest of the Web site. All the navigation of the site is then handled by clicking on a particular link that takes you to another page on the site. In most Web page construction software, the first page created is actually titled “index.” All the pages that make up the Web site are saved in the HTML format.
