Basic Structure of HTML

     

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Page Title</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h1>My First Heading</h1>
    <p>My first paragraph.</p>
    </body>
    </html>

    • The <!DOCTYPE html> declaration defines
      this document to be HTML5
    • The <html> element is the root element of an
      HTML page
    • The <head> element contains meta information about the document
    • The <title> element specifies a title for the document
    • The <body> element contains the visible page content
    • The <h1> element defines a large heading
    • The <p> element defines a paragraph

     

     

     

    • An HTML document has two* main
      parts:
      • head. The head element contains title and meta data of a web document.
      • body. The body element contains the information that you want to display
      on a web page.
    • In a web page, the first tag (specifically, <html>) indicates the
      markup language that is being used for the document.
    • The <head> tag contains information about the web page.
      Lastly, the content appears in the
      <body> tag.

    HTML Tags

    • HTML tags are element names surrounded by angle brackets:
    • <tagname> Content goes here..</tagname>
    • HTML tags normally come in pairs like <p> and </p>
    • The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
    • The end tag is written like the start tag, but with a forward slash inserted
      before the tag name
