Combining VBScript and HTML

HTML pages are written as text files in the same way as VBScripts. HTML pages display information according to a series of tags, which you use to turn certain formatting on and off. The tags you normally use to construct a basic page look like this:

<HTML>
   
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Hello World Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
   
<BODY>
Hello World
