Finding the home pages HTML?

    So, I’m pretty new to wordpress.
    I’m really confused about how to find the HTML.
    So, if I go to edit the sites homepage, you can see the visual view, or the HTML view. Well, under the HTML view it only shows you the h1 and color tags and such…It doesn’t show you the body tag/doctype and all that. Where do I find the full HTML?
    They are also using C-panel with it, but I can’t find the homepage’s HTML there either. x.x
    Help?

    It doesn’t show you the body tag/doctype and all that.

    That will be in your theme’s header.php template file. Perhaps you need to review Theme_Development?

    If you are using Firefox you can right-click and click View Page Source. That will show you all the HTML. I am not sure how you can edit it though.

    The overall html code that is used is a combination of many things. WP is a dynamic, database driven system.

    So the html which is generated depends on the page you are viewing, but includes code from header.php, sidebar.php, index.php (or single, archive, page), footer.php, and widgets or plugins which are outputting content, along with the actual content, whic is stored and retrieved from the database.
