Introduction In HTML
HTML ( Hyper Text Markup Language)
It serves as the backbone of the World Wide Web, providing a standardized way to structure content on web pages. It uses a system of tags, enclosed in angle brackets (< >), to define various elements and their relationships within a document. These elements can represent anything from text and images to links and multimedia.
Key Concepts:
Markup Language: it is a markup language, meaning it uses tags to annotate content within a document. Tags define the structure and appearance of elements on a webpage.
Document Structure:The document follows a hierarchical structure. It begins with the
<html>tag as the root element, which contains two main sections:<head>(metadata) and<body>(content). The head often includes the title, character set, and links to external resources, while the body holds the main content.Tags and Elements: is elements consist of opening and closing tags, encapsulating content. For example, a paragraph is created with
<p>for the opening tag and</p>for the closing tag. Some elements, like line breaks<br>or images<img>, don’t require closing tags.Attributes: Elements can have attributes that provide additional information. Attributes are added within the opening tag and are expressed as name-value pairs. For instance,
<a href="https://www.example.com">Link</a>creates a hyperlink with the attribute “href” specifying the destination URL.
