Introduction:
Hello Web Developers! Today we are going to explore the world of HTML, the backbone of any website. We are going to explore about HTML Tags, Elements, and Attributes and how they work together to form a website. So Let's start.You can also learn from the video.
HTML Tags:
HTML tags are the hidden keywords within a web page that define how your web browser must format and display the content. Most tags must have two parts, an opening, and a closing part. For example, <html>
is the opening tag and </html>
is the closing tag. Note that the closing tag has the same text as the opening tag, but has an additional forward slash (/
) just after the tag opener. There are different types of stage in HTML.
1. Paired Tags:
- Paired tags consist of an opening tag and a corresponding closing tag. They enclose content between them. Here are some examples:
<p>
: Represents a paragraph. For instance:
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<i>
and<b>
: Used for italicized and bold text, respectively. Example:
HTML:
<i><b>This is bold and italicized text.</b></i>
- These paired tags are also known as container tags.
2. Unpaired Tags:
- Unpaired tags (also called standalone or singular tags) only have an opening tag and do not require a closing tag. They serve specific purposes. For example:
<hr>
: Creates a horizontal line.
<img>
: Embeds images.
<a>
: Used for hyperlinks.
<ul>
and<ol>
: Create unordered and ordered lists, respectively.
HTML Elements:
An HTML element is defined by a start tag, some content, and an end tag. For example, a simple paragraph in HTML might look like this:
HTML
<p>This is a simple paragraph</p>
Here, <p>
is the start tag, This is a simple paragraph,
the content, and </p>
is the end tag. Together, they form an HTML element.
HTML Attributes:
Attributes provide additional information about an element. They are always specified in the start tag and usually come in name/value pairs like name="value"
. For example, the href
attribute in the <a>
(anchor) tag is used to specify the URL of the page the link goes to:
HTML
<a href="https://www.example.com">This is a link.</a>
In this example, href
is an attribute name and https://www.example.com
is its value.
Conclusion:
Understanding HTML tags, elements, and attributes is a fundamental need for web development. They are the building blocks of any webpage and provide the structure and functionality that make the web what it is today.
Remember, the best way to learn is by doing. So, get out there and start coding!
I hope this helps!
