Study Notes

Introduction to HTML

  • HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language.
  • It's the standard markup language for creating web pages.
  • It uses tags to structure content, defining headings, paragraphs, images, and more.
  • Browsers interpret HTML tags to display web pages.

Basic Structure of an HTML Document

  • Every HTML document starts with a <html> tag and ends with a </html> tag.
  • Within <html>, there's a <head> and a <body> section
  • The <head> contains meta-information about the HTML page and can include the <title> tag (the title displayed in the browser tab).
  • The <body> contains the content that is displayed in the browser window.

HTML Tags

  • Tags are enclosed in angle brackets (< >).
  • Tags often come in pairs: an opening tag and a closing tag (e.g., <p> and </p>).
  • Some tags are self-closing (e.g., <img>).
  • Tags can have attributes, providing extra information (e.g., width, height for an <img> tag).

Common HTML Tags

  • <p>: Paragraph
  • <div> and <span>: Div and Span for sectioning and styling content.
  • <h1> to <h6>: Headings of different levels
  • <a>: Anchor tag for hyperlinks
  • <img>: Image tag
  • <ul> and <ol>: Unordered and Ordered Lists
  • <li>: List items
  • <table>, <tr>, <td>, <th>: Table elements for creating tables.
  • <br>: Line break tag
  • <hr>: Horizontal rule tag
  • <meta>: Metadata tag within <head>

    <ul>
        <li>Item 1</li>
        <li>Item 2</li>
    </ul>
</body>
</html>
