HTML Language Basics

لغة HTML

Definition

• 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 Structure

• HTML documents consist of a series of elements, represented by tags (<>).
• Tags are surrounded by angle brackets (<>) and 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:
  1. ``: declaration of the document type
  2. ``: root element of the document
  3. ``: contains metadata about the document
  4. ``: contains the content of the document

Elements

• HTML elements can be either:
  • Block-level elements: occupy a block of space on the page (e.g. <p>, </p><div>)
  • Inline elements: occupy only the space of their content (e.g. <span>, <a>)
• Elements can have attributes, which provide additional information about the element (e.g. href in </a><a href="https://www.example.com">)

Common HTML Elements

• Headings: , , ``, etc. for headings
• Paragraphs: </a></span><p><a href="https://www.example.com"> for paragraphs of text
