The Easiest Web Page
The easiest web page possible is simply a blank text file named something.html. The text file can be simple text and the programs that read this file, such as Internet Explorer and Netscape, will display the text. Double spaces will be replaced with a single space and the lines where you may have begun a new paragraph will simply be tacked onto the last line as though the spaces and paragraphs were nonexistent.

For example: something.html was written like this using Notepad - you can use any text editor:

Today is a very special day.  Today I am learning to program using HTML, or HyperText Markup
Language.  It is very, very easy.  I know I will do very well with this new programming
language.


I know I can become a great HTML programmer.
I will strive to learn all that I can.
I will continue learning even more advanced HTML.

When you go to the something.html page, though, you will see that all the breaks and double spaces have been stripped. This is because the text within the something.html file was interpreted as HTML code.

Now if you wanted to simply make a text file available online you could simply link to the text file itself: something.txt and the file will be displayed in a browser window with the same formatting as the original text file.
