Web pages are formatted using a "Hypertext Markup Language" (HTML). Although this sounds complicated it is simple. The text is simply "marked up" with pairs of tags that divide the whole text into phrases, paragraphs etc. Each pair of tags is associated with a "style" which defines to the browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera etc.) how the text between the tags should be displayed. Styles can be complicated, but basic styles define the size and colour of the letters, the spacing between lines and so on.
Begin by opening a simple text editor such as Notepad.
Type the name of the recipe between a pair of heading tags. The suggested tags result in a particular style used in the Allotments website that will help this text to stand out a little from the rest of the recipe.
<h5>The name of the recipe<⁄h5>
Then add a heading for the ingredients and the number of servings. The <h6></h6> will give slightly smaller letters than <h5></h5>.
<h6>Ingredients (Serves ?)</h6>
Add the list of ingredients. Each ingredient will be set between a pair of list item tags <li> </li> and the whole between list tags. In this case the list will be "unordered" and a pair of <ul></ul> tags will be used.
<ul>
<li>Ingredient 1 </li>
<li>Ingredient 2 <li>
...
</ul>
Add a heading for the method.
<h6>Method</h6>
Then add the method of preparing the ingredients and cooking the dish. use a pair of <p></p> tags to enclose each paragraph
<p>...........</p>
<p>...........</p>
Finally add your name as the contributor. The pair of <em></em> tags will result in you name being italicised.
<p><em>Your name</em></p>
Save the file, preferably as type "htm" and send it as an email attachment to us.
