Study Notes

HTML Overview

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
It's the standard language for creating web pages
HTML describes the structure of a web page
HTML elements tell the browser how to display content
Elements label pieces of content (e.g., headings, paragraphs, links)

Content

Markup Language: A set of symbols or codes used to add instructions to a document that describe the structure and layout.
Web Browsers: Software applications used to access and display web pages (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari). Browsers interpret HTML to display web pages, but do not display the HTML tags themselves. Specific HTML elements are used by the browser to determine how to display content.
HTML Documents: Contain the coded instructions for a webpage's structure. Begin with and end with .
HTML Elements: Building blocks of HTML documents. These elements define different parts of the website, enclosed with start and end tags ( ... ).
Nested HTML Elements: HTML elements can contain other HTML elements. The hierarchical structure of nested elements helps define the organization and layout of the webpage content.
HTML Heading (h1-h6): Used to define headings of different levels for ordering and importance (h1 most important, h6 least important).
HTML Paragraph (p): Defines a paragraph.
HTML Quotation (blockquote): Used to quote text from another source, usually indented by browsers. Placed inside
tags.
HTML Links (a): Used to create hyperlinks, allowing navigation between webpages defined with the tag. The href attribute in the tag specifies the URL, which may be a full address (absolute) or relative to the current page (relative). Email (mailto:) and tel: links might be included to initiate email and phone calls, respectively.

Absolute Links: Link to URLs from other websites, using the full web address.

Relative Links: Link to pages within your website relative to the current page's location. For example, linking index.html would take you to a page called index if it exists.

HTML Phrase Elements: These display inline with text and add context or meaning (e.g., bold (b and strong), italic (i and em)), using specific tags.

Line Break Element (br): Create a line break in the text, written as
.

HTML List: Allows grouping of related items, using <ul>, <ol>, and <dl> tags. There are three types: unordered (bullet points), ordered (numbered), and description (key-value pairs).

HTML Div Element (

): Used as a generic container for other HTML elements, used to group blocks.

HTML Tables: Tables organize data into rows and columns.

HTML Table Columns (): Define headings and are frequently bolded.

HTML Table Colspan (colspan): Defines cells that span multiple columns.

HTML Table Rowspan (rowspan): Defines cells that span across multiple rows.

HTML Headers & Footers (, ): Allow additional table information and structure, often used for enhancement, appearing with the tags, where precedes , and precedes both.

Validation Tools

Web developers use HTML validation tools to check for errors, including syntax errors in their HTML code. This practice helps ensure pages display consistently across different browsers and devices.
The W3C HTML Validation Tool and various HTML 5 validation tools exist for this purpose.
