HyperText Markup Language, the fundamental language for structuring web pages.

What are HTML tags?

Tags are markers placed in code that define the structure of content. They usually come in pairs, with an opening tag and a closing tag.

What's the difference between the <head> and <body> sections?

The <head> section holds meta-information about the HTML document, such as the page title. The <body> section contains the visible content of the webpage.

What are attributes in HTML?

Attributes provide extra information about HTML elements. They are placed within the opening tag and usually come in key-value pairs.

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 describe the structure of a web page.
  • Tags typically come in pairs: an opening tag and a closing tag.

Basic HTML Structure

  • Every HTML document starts with the <html> tag.
  • The <head> section contains metadata about the document, like the title.
  • The <title> tag sets the title that appears in the browser tab.
  • The <body> section contains the visible content of the webpage.

HTML Tags

  • Tags are enclosed in angle brackets < >.
  • Some common HTML tags include:
    • <p> for paragraphs
    • <h1> to <h6> for headings
    • <img> for images
    • <a> for links
    • <ul> and <ol> for unordered and ordered lists
    • <li> for list items
    • <div> for generic containers
    • <span> for inline containers

Attributes

  • Attributes provide additional information about HTML elements.
  • They are placed within the opening tag.
  • Attributes are typically name-value pairs, e.g., src="image.jpg".
  • Common attributes include:
    • src for image paths
    • href for link destinations
    • alt for alternative text for images (accessibility)
    • id and class for element identification and styling

Block-level vs. Inline elements

  • Block-level elements take up the full width available.
  • Inline elements only take up the space needed.
  • Common block-level elements: <div>, <h1> to <h6>, <p>, <ul>, <ol>.
  • Common inline elements: <span>, <a>, <img>.

HTML Comments

  • Comments are used to explain HTML code.
  • They are ignored by the browser.
  • Comments are created using <!-- comment -->.

Semantic HTML5

  • Semantic HTML elements describe the purpose of content on a web page.
  • These include <article>, <aside>, <nav>, <header>, <footer>, <section>, <figure>, etc.
  • Using semantic elements improves code structure, accessibility, and maintainability.

HTML Entities

  • Special characters, like greater than or less than symbols, are represented by entities like &gt; and &lt;.
  • For example, to display an ampersand (&), you'd use &amp;.

HTML Forms

  • Forms allow users to input data in web pages.
  • Common form elements:
    • <form> element encapsulates the form.
    • <input> element for various inputs (text, numbers, passwords, etc.)
    • <textarea> for multiline text input
    • <select> for drop-down menus
    • <button> for buttons.

Webpage Structure

  • The overall structure of an HTML document defines how the page content is organized and displayed.

Basic HTML Example

  • A simple HTML document structure (content example):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Webpage</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Welcome to My Page</h1>
  <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
  
</body>
</html>
  • The example shows a basic webpage structure with a heading and a paragraph. Properly formatted, it displays a title in the browser tab, the example content is inside the body section and the document type declaration <!DOCTYPE html> is to ensure compatibility.

Conclusion

  • HTML provides the fundamental structure for web pages.
  • Understanding HTML tags, attributes, and elements is crucial for creating web content.
  • Semantic HTML improves the structure and readability of web pages, leading to better accessibility for users and maintainability for developers.
