HTML Overview
- Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) is essential for creating web pages.
- HTML elements mark up text for formatting and presentation, facilitating interpretation by web browsers.
HTML Elements
- Elements serve as markers for different text purposes in web content, enhancing readability and structure.
-
Container Elements: Have both opening and closing tags (e.g.,
<b>Hello</b>), enclosing marked text. -
Empty Elements: Consist of a single tag with no closing counterpart (e.g.,
<br>for line break,<hr>for horizontal rule).
Formatting Elements in HTML
- The basic formatting elements include:
-
<br>: Inserts a line break. -
<hr>: Inserts a horizontal rule or divider. -
<b>: Renders text in bold. -
<i>: Renders text in italics. -
<small>: Displays text smaller than default size. -

Ordered Lists: Items are presented in a numbered sequence, created using the
<ol>tag. -
Unordered Lists: Items are presented with bullet points or symbols, created using the
