Sample Home Page
Sample Home Page for EECS Classes
Instructors can copy this document to the standard location in a class
master account and then modify it. For example, an instructor could
set up a sample home page with these commands:
% mkdir ~/public_html ~/public_html/fa05
% cp /share/b/pub/sample.class.html ~/public_html/fa05/index.html
% chmod 751 ~/public_html/fa05
% chmod 644 ~/public_html/fa05/index.html
Home pages are formatted using the HTML markup language. HMTL formatting
tags are enclosed in < > characters and may be upper or lower case
characters. Here's a quick tutorial on HTML.
The basic structure of an HTML document is:
<![CDATA[
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
<ADDRESS>
</ADDRESS>
</HTML>
]]>
Some useful tags are:
<![CDATA[
<P> start a new paragraph
<BR> force a new line
<HR> draw a horizontal line
<XMP> display text "as is", without HTML formatting
...
< /XMP>
<LI> start a list item (</LI> end tags not required)
]]>
To set up a menu like this:
type this:
<![CDATA[
<MENU>
<LI>
<A HREF="#top">
a link back to the top of this document</A>
<LI>
<A HREF="http://www.berkeley.edu/wwwalpha.html">
a link to a document on another server</A>
</MENU>
]]>
