What is HTML?
Ø HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
Ø HTML describes the structure of Web pages using
markup
Ø HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML
pages
Ø HTML elements are represented by tags
Ø HTML tags label pieces of content such as
"heading", "paragraph", "table", and so on
Ø Browsers do not display the HTML tags, but use
them to render the content of the page
Example>>>
<!DOCTYPE
html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Your page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Your
Main heading will go here</h1>
<p>Your
Paragraph will go here</p>
</body>
</html>

Example Explained
Ø The <!DOCTYPE html> declaration defines this document to be HTML5
Ø The <html> element
is the root element of an HTML page
Ø The <head> element
contains meta information about the document
Ø The <title> element
specifies a title for the document
Ø The <body> element
contains the visible page content
Ø The <h1> element defines a
large heading
Ø The <p> element defines a
paragraph
HTML Tags
HTML tags are
element names surrounded by angle brackets:
<tagname>content
goes here...</tagname>
|
Ø HTML tags
normally come in pairs like
<p> and </p>
Ø The first
tag in a pair is the start tag, the
second tag is the end tag
Ø The end
tag is written like the start tag, but with a forward slash inserted
before the tag name
NOTE:
The
start Tag also called “Opening Tag” and End tag also called “Closing Tag”.
Web Browsers
Ø The purpose of a web
browser (Chrome, IE, Firefox, Safari) is to read HTML documents and display
them.
Ø The browser does not
display the HTML tags, but uses them to determine how to display the document.
The <!DOCTYPE> Declaration:
The
<!DOCTYPE> declaration
represents the document type, and helps browsers to display web pages
correctly.
It must only
appear once, at the top of the page (before any HTML tags).
The
<!DOCTYPE> declaration is not
case sensitive.
The
<!DOCTYPE> declaration
for HTML5 is:| <!DOCTYPE html> |
