Study Notes

Introduction to HTML

  • HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language.
  • It's the standard markup language for creating web pages.
  • HTML uses tags to define the structure and content of a web page.
  • Tags are enclosed in angle brackets < >.
  • Tags typically come in pairs, with a start tag and an end tag. The end tag usually includes a forward slash (e.g., </p>).
  • The content between the start and end tags defines the element.
  • HTML documents are typically saved with a .html or .htm extension.

Basic HTML Structure

  • Every HTML document has a basic structure.
  • The <!DOCTYPE html> declaration defines the document type as HTML5.
  • The <html> tag encapsulates the entire HTML document.
  • The <head> section contains metadata about the page, such as the title.
  • The <title> tag specifies the title that appears in the browser's title bar.
  • The <body> section contains the visible content of the page.

Common HTML Elements

  • Headings: <h1> to <h6> for different levels of headings.
  • Paragraphs: <p> for blocks of text.
  • Lists: <ul> for unordered lists, <ol> for ordered lists, <li> for list items.
  • Images: <img> for displaying images, specifying the source using the src attribute.
  • Links: <a> for hyperlinks, using the href attribute to specify the destination URL.
  • Tables: <table>, <tr> (table row), <td> (table data) for tabular data.
  • Forms: <form> for user input, <input> for various input types (text boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons).
  • Divs and Spans: <div> for general block-level containers, <span> for inline containers.
  • Comments: <!-- This is a comment --> for developer notes, not displayed in the page.

Attributes

  • Attributes provide additional information about HTML elements.
  • They are placed within the start tag.
  • Common attributes include:
    • id: A unique identifier for an element.
    • class: A way to group elements with similar characteristics.
    • src: Specifies the source of an image.
    • href: Specifies the URL for a hyperlink.
    • alt: Provides alternative text for images (important for accessibility).
    • style: Allows inline styling for elements.
    • title: Provides a tooltip to display when hovering over an element.

HTML Semantics

  • HTML5 introduced semantic elements, which describe the purpose of the content.
  • Examples include <header>, <nav>, <article>, <aside>, <footer>.
  • These elements improve structure and accessibility.

HTML Entities

  • HTML uses character entities to represent special characters that can't be typed directly (e.g., <, >).
  • Examples include &lt; for <, &gt; for >, &nbsp; for a non-breaking space.

HTML5 Features

  • HTML5 introduced features like audio and video tagging directly in the document.
  • It has new semantic elements.
  • It is more flexible and robust for modern development.

Basic HTML Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My First Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Welcome to my page</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
    <img src="image.jpg" alt="Example Image">
    <a href="https://www.example.com">Visit Example</a>
</body>
</html>
