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
