    Study Notes

    What is HTML?

    • HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a standard markup language used to create web pages.
    • It is the backbone of a website, providing the structure and content that the web browser renders to the user.

    Basic HTML Structure

    • HTML documents consist of a series of elements, represented by tags (<>).
    • Tags usually come in pairs, with the opening tag preceding the content and the closing tag following the content.
    • The basic structure of an HTML document includes:
      • ``: declaration of the document type
      • ``: root element of the document
      • ``: contains metadata about the document
      • ``: contains the content of the HTML document

    HTML Elements

    • HTML elements are represented by tags and are used to define different parts of a web page.
    • There are two types of elements:
      • Structural elements: define the structure of a web page (e.g., headings, paragraphs, lists)
      • Semantic elements: provide meaning to the structure of a web page (e.g., header, footer, navigation)

    Common HTML Elements

    • Headings: , , ``, etc. (define headings of different levels)
    • Paragraphs: <p> (defines a paragraph of text)
    • Links: <a> (defines a hyperlink to another web page or email address)
    • Images: `` (defines an image on a web page)
    • Lists: </a></p><a>, </a><a>, `` (defines unordered, ordered, and list items)
    • Tables: , , `` (defines a table, table row, and table data)

    Attributes

    • HTML elements can have attributes, which provide additional information about the element.
    • Attributes are added to the opening tag and consist of a name and value (e.g., href="https://www.example.com").

    Semantic Meaning

    • HTML5 introduced semantic elements, which provide meaning to the structure of a web page.
    • Examples of semantic elements:
      • ``: defines the header section of a web page
      • ``: defines a section of navigation links
      • ``: defines the main content section of a web page
      • ``: defines a self-contained section of related content
      • ``: defines an independent piece of content
      • ``: defines the footer section of a web page
