    Study Notes

    What is HTML?

    • HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the foundation of web pages and applications.
    • It defines the structure and content of web pages, enabling users to access information online.
    • HTML uses tags to mark up elements on a page, providing instructions to the browser on how to display content.
    • The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) creates and maintains HTML standards.

    The Role of HTML in Web Development

    • HTML provides the underlying structure of a web page.
    • It defines the layout and organization of content using a hierarchy of elements.
    • HTML tags specify the type of content and guide its presentation.

    HTML Editors

    • Text editors, like Notepad (Windows) and TextEdit (Mac), offer basic HTML writing capabilities.
    • Code editors, such as Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, and Atom, provide enhanced features like syntax highlighting and autocompletion for efficient coding.
    • Online editors, including CodePen, JSFiddle, and JSBin, enable writing and testing HTML directly in a web browser.

    Basic Structure of an HTML Document

    • DOCTYPE: Declares the HTML version, typically "HTML5."
    • HTML Element: The root element of the page, encompassing all other elements.
    • Head: Contains metadata about the document, like the title, which is not displayed on the page but used for browser tabs and search engines.
    • Body: Encloses the main content of the webpage that is visible to users.

    HTML Elements

    • Elements in HTML are marked up with tags.
    • Opening Tag: Begins an element (e.g., <p>).
    • Closing Tag: Ends an element (e.g., </p>).
    • Self-Closing Tag: Represents elements without content (e.g., <br> for line breaks).
    • Nested Elements: Elements can be placed inside other elements to create a hierarchical structure.

    HTML Attributes

    • Provide additional information about elements.
    • Included within the opening tag in the format "name=value."
    • Examples:
      • href for specifying link destinations within <a> (anchor) tags.
      • src for defining the image source within <img> tags.
      • alt for providing alternative text for images, improving accessibility.

    HTML Headings

    • Organize content using six levels of headings: <h1> to <h6>.
    • Headings serve as titles or subtitles, with <h1> being the most important and <h6> the least.
    • Example: <h1>My Website</h1>

    HTML Paragraphs

    • Organize blocks of text using <p> tags.
    • The browser inserts spacing before and after paragraphs for visual distinction.
    • Multiple paragraphs can be used to enhance readability and structure content.
    • Example: <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>

    HTML Styles

    • Directly applying styles to elements with the "style" attribute provides inline styling.
    • Example: <p style="color: blue;">Blue text</p>.
    • Inline styles are suitable for quick adjustments, but external CSS files are preferred for scalable styling.

    HTML Formatting

    • Emphasize or format content using specific elements.
    • Bold: <strong> or <b> tags.
    • Italic: <em> or <i> tags.
    • Superscript: <sup> tag.
    • Subscript: <sub> tag.

    HTML Quotations

    • Use <q> for short inline quotations and <blockquote> for longer block quotes.

    HTML Comments

    • Comments are denoted by <!-- Comment here -->.
    • Comments are not rendered on the web page and are used for explaining code.
    • They aid in code maintenance and collaboration.
    • Create hyperlinks with <a> tags.
    • The href attribute specifies the target URL the link navigates to.
    • Example: <a href="https://www.example.com">Visit Example</a>
    • The target="_blank" attribute opens links in a new tab.

    HTML Images

    • Embed images using <img> tags.
    • The src attribute points to the image file location.
    • The alt attribute provides alternative text for screen readers.
    • Example: <img src="image.jpg" alt="Image Description">

    HTML Favicon

    • A favicon is a small icon displayed in the browser tab.
    • It is added to the <head> section using <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico">.
    • Favicons enhance branding and website recognition.

    HTML Page Title

    • Set the page title within the <title> tag in the <head> section.
    • The title appears in the browser tab and search engine results.
    • A clear and concise title is essential for user understanding and Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

    HTML Tables

    • Tables are structured with <table>, <tr>, <th>, and <td> elements.
    • <table> defines the table, <tr> creates table rows, <th> defines table header cells, and <td> represents data cells.

    HTML Lists

    • Lists group related items.
    • Ordered Lists: <ol> lists items in a numbered sequence.
    • Unordered Lists: <ul> lists items using bullet points.
    • Individual items are within <li> tags.
