    Study Notes

    Introduction to HTML

    • HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the primary language for developing web page content.
    • It employs markup tags to describe the structure and content of web pages.
    • HTML tags consist of keywords encased in angle brackets, forming opening and closing tags to define elements.

    Tag Structure

    • Typical HTML structure:
      • Opening tag: <tagname>
      • Content: the information or text contained within the tags
      • Closing tag: </tagname>

    Best Practices

    • It is recommended to use lowercase for all tag names, essential for compatibility with XHTML.

    XHTML Document Declaration

    • An XHTML document requires a DOCTYPE declaration, which should be the first line of the HTML document.
    • The declaration indicates the version of HTML used, informing the web browser how to interpret the document.
    • For HTML5, the declaration is <!DOCTYPE html>, and it is case insensitive.

    The <div> Element

    • The <div> element is utilized for grouping multiple elements, facilitating the creation of sections or subsections on a page.
    • Commonly paired with CSS to apply styles to specific sections.
    • Attributes such as id and class can be assigned to <div> elements to designate them uniquely.

    Lists in HTML

    • Two primary types of lists in HTML:
      • Unordered lists (<ul>): Display items in a bulleted format.
      • Ordered lists (<ol>): Display items in a numerical or alphabetical sequence.
    • List items within these lists are defined using the <li> tag, applicable for both unordered and ordered lists.
