What is the page source?

The page source is the HTML file that the browser reads in order to display the web page. In order to view the page source of most web pages, the user can choose Page Source from the View menu, and the HTML file will open in another window. Being able to view the page source is very handy because it enables the user to see how certain HTML files are written.
For example, let's say that you have visited a page and have been impressed by the layout of the page. In order to emulate the layout, or at least learn how the layout was achieved, you can open the page source and view the actual HTML file that produced the page. Since HTML formatting is not copyrightable for the most part, it is often desirable to copy bits and pieces of the page source HTML to paste into your own HTML documents.
