Understanding HTML Basics

HTML is a markup language that instructs the browser on how to display text and images in a web page.

HTML files are binary files that require specific software to view them.

Rich text file formats used by word processors add formatting commands visible in the browser.

HTML follows rules to ensure consistent display across browsers and computers.

HTML uses elements like h1 to structure and style a website.

An opening tag is followed by a closing tag.

If any of the three conditions for a valid HTML tag are not met, the browser displays plain text.

The hidden attribute in HTML indicates that the element will not be rendered by the browser.

Attributes in HTML can only be set equal to values enclosed in parentheses.

Multiple attributes in HTML must be separated by a comma in the opening HTML tag.
