HTML Starter Template Generator

1. Build Your Foundation

The left-hand panel is for adding HTML elements and templates/code snippets:

• The "Elements" Tab: Click any button (e.g., "Heading," "Image," "Form") to insert that specific HTML tag directly at your current cursor position in the code editor.
• The "Templates" Tab: Gives you a head start. Selecting a template (like "Basic Page" or "Navigation Bar") will populate the editor with a pre-defined block of HTML, replacing any existing code. This is great for bootstrapping common templates and layouts.

2. Refine Your Code

The HTML editor to the right is editable:

• Direct Editing: In addition to clicking buttons on the left, you can also edit the code directly in the editor. Once you've generated the template code using the buttons, you can tailor the generated snippets to your exact needs if needed.
• Syntax Highlighting: Code is color-coded for readability, making it easier to spot tags, attributes, and content.
• Line Numbers: Keep track of your code and easily reference specific lines.

3. Export Your Template

Once your HTML is ready:

• Click the Copy Code button, positioned just above the editor. This copies all the HTML from the editor to your clipboard
• You can then paste this code into your projects, whether it's a static HTML file, a CMS, or any other development environment.

Tips for Efficient Building:

• Smart Insertion: Before clicking an "Element" button, ensure your cursor is exactly where you want the new code to appear in the editor.
• Iterate with Templates: Start with a broad template, then use individual elements to customize and fill in the details.
• External Preview: While this tool generates the HTML code, you'll need to preview your template in a web browser to confirm visual rendering and functionality.
