HTML

So the long form of HTML is a hypertext markup language. It's not a programming language.
It's a markup language for creating webpages and HTML documents.
It's a building block of a webpage.
Tag Syntax
<tagname>content</tagname>
these are building blocks of the HTML page.
example;
<p></p>

  • the tags are usually in pairs (opening and closing tags)
  • The closing tag is usually with a forward slash after the angle opening bracket.
  • but some are self-closing tags, they usually do not have any content with them eg;
    <br/> or <br> line break,

HTML page structure
<!DOCTYPEhtml>

<html>
<head>
<title> page </title>

<body>
<h1,h2....h6> heading
</h1,/h2..../h6>
<p> paragraph </p>
</body>

</html>

The!DOCTYPE
tells the browser what type of HTML the document is actually written in.

the inline tags and block level element tags

  • Inline elements;
    they do not start on a newline .
    they only take necessar width in the line level . examples can be ,
    <span></span>,<img></img>,<a></a>
  • Block elements;
    they start on a newline,
    and they take a full width available.
    example;
    <div></div>,<h1-h6></h1-/h6>

Tag attributes
<tagname atributename="atributevalue">content</tagname>

  • Attributes provide info about an element.
  • All tags can have an attribute.
  • always placed within the start tag.

list tags

  • for unordered list
    <ul></ul> this list in a document will appear with bullets

  • ordered list
    <ol></ol> this list will have number.

Table tags

<table></table>
<th></th> for table head
<tr></tr>for table rows
<td><td> for adding data in the table.
<tb></tb> table body

Form tags

<form action="" method"POST/GET"></form>
<label></label>

so that's some of the summaries on HTML.
