hand-coding html question

    Hello,

    I’m a very good html/css coder.

    I was delighted (I think) to discover in a book I’m reading about WordPress that you can click on some sort of menu button and code-in hand-written pure html. That would be a huge advantage for me.

    Is this true?

    If so, I have a related question:
    A well-formed HTML page will have this:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt;
    <html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”&gt;
    <head>
    <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>

    There would likely be other stuff like calls to external style sheets, maybe some javascript functions, etc. If I’m in the “code it by hand” mode within the WordPress dashboard, do I include all of the above html tags? Or would I merely code the content inside the body tags like:

    <h1>World of Golf</h1>
    <p>Golf is amazing.</p>
    <img src=”/images/golf-course-picture.png” alt=”Golf Course” />
    <p>That’s a great golf course.</p>

    The books I’m reading dance lightly around the code stuff, and it’s causing me to not be able to confirm some things. Thanks for any insights into this.
