In this first example, we will build a basic map with Natural Earth Data. We will incorporate Leaflet in a simple HTML page. The full code of the following example is contained in the leaflet/map.html file from the code bundle. You can use the file as a reference; we will create it from scratch in the following steps:
- Open your text editor and create a new file; call it map.html. Insert the following code block--the basic for a static HTML page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>WMS basic map - Leaflet</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
- Now, add the following piece of code just after the row containing the <title> element, which adds the link to the Leaflet library:
<meta charset="utf-8" ...
