To create an HTML document, you'll need to use a text editor like Notepad++ or Sublime Text. Once you have a text editor open, you can start writing your HTML code. Here's an example of a simple HTML document:

<html> <head> <title>My First Web Page</title> </head> <body>

<p>This is my first web page.</p> </body> </html>

Once you've written your HTML code, you can save the file with a .html extension. You can then open the file in a web browser to see how it looks.

h1 { font-size: 24px; color: #000000; }

p { font-size: 16px; color: #000000; }

javascript function sayHello(){alert("Hello, world!"); }

Once you've created a JavaScript file, you can link to it in your HTML document using the following code:
