Study Notes
HTML Basics
- HTML documents must start with a type declaration and are structured between
<html>and</html>tags. - The visible section of the HTML document exists between
<body>and</body>. - HTML headings are defined using
<h1>to<h6>tags, indicating different levels of importance. - Paragraphs in HTML are created using the
<p>tag and generally require an end tag.
HTML Elements
- HTML elements are composed of a start tag, an end tag, and content in between.
- Some elements may not require an end tag, known as empty elements (e.g.,
<br>,<hr>). - The
<br>tag creates a line break, and<hr>creates a horizontal line, differentiating sections.
Displaying Preformatted Text
- The
<pre>tag is used to display pre-formatted text, preserving spaces and line breaks, ideal for poetry or formatted text.
CSS Styling
- CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is utilized to change the default styles of HTML elements, such as background color, text color, and font size.
- Three methods for applying CSS: inline (within HTML elements), internal (using
<style>within<head>), and external (linking to a separate CSS file). - Inline styles are useful for unique element styling, while internal styles apply to all elements in a document.
CSS Properties
- CSS syntax includes specifying the element, properties, and values (e.g.,
element {property: value;}). - Common CSS properties include
color,font-family, andfont-size.
The Box Model
- Every visible HTML element has an invisible box around it, defined by the CSS box model, including properties like
border.
Identifying Elements
- Use the
idattribute for unique elements and theclassattribute for a group aspect to define specific styles.
HTML Links
- HTML links are created using the
<a>tag with thehrefattribute specifying the destination URL, allowing navigation between documents. - Local links can use relative URLs, while absolute URLs specify full paths.
Images in HTML
- Images are defined using the
<img>tag, which includes attributes likesrc(source URL) andalt(alternative text). - The
widthandheightattributes or styling can control image dimensions.
HTML Tables
- Tables are created using the
<table>,<tr>,<th>, and<td>tags, with styles controlling borders and padding. - Captions can be added with the
<caption>tag to describe the table's content.
HTML Lists
- Unordered lists start with
<ul>and each item with<li>, utilizing bullets. - Ordered lists begin with
<ol>and also use<li>for items, which can be numbered or styled with types including uppercase letters and Roman numerals.
Description Lists

<dl>for the list,<dt>for terms, and<dd>for descriptions, providing a structured way to convey information.
