What is HTML ❔❔
Html is the very first step towards the web development and very easy to understand .
Html stands for HYPER TEXT MARKUP LANGUAGE.
As the name suggest it is a Markup language which helps in the presentation of the data (note : markup language is different from programming language).
HTML was invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1993.
To understand in easy language we can say that HTML is skelton like of a web page.
let's start with the main content which we need to learn as a web developer
-------------------------- So , here we go --------------------------
Basic structure of HTML
HTML mainly consists of head and body.
Head contains the information which is not displayed to the user or web page . mainly the tags like
<tittle>,<script>are written in head part.Body contains the information or the data which is displayed on the web page . for example : headings and paragraphs etc.
<head>
<title> Title of web page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1> Heading one </h1>
<p> paragraph </p>
</body>
</html>
Understanding Tags and Attributes
Tags
Tags are the keywords enclosed in angle brackets.
Tags are mainly of two types paired and unpaired.
Paired have both opening and closing tags example :
<html> </html>, <p> </p>etc.Unpaired have only opening tag or do not need closing tag example :
<img> , <a> , <br> , <hr>etc.Note: The tags like
<br>,<a>which do not contain any content are also called empty tags
Attribute
Attribute provides value to the element.
these are written inside the tags.
for example :
<a href="https://www.google.com"> GOOGLE </a>In above example, attribute used is href .
Note : Html5 is the new version of Html which supports audio , video and simmentics tags
Elements
Elements are nothing but the content which is wrapped by the paired tags
we can also say element is a piece of code with paired tags.
example :
<p> Heyy Ashish </p>Elements are of two types Block elements and Inline elements.
Block elements
- these elements occupy full space from left to right on web page
example :
<p>, <ol> , <ul> , <dl>
Inline elements
- these elements occupy no extra space outside the content written.
example :
let's go through some important tags Html
1.HTML Formatting Elements
- Formatting elements were designed to display special types of text.
2.Iframe tag
- When we want to show any other web page on our web page then we use iframe tag.
3.Table
In table there are mainly three tags used
<table>,<th>,<td>th is used for table heading td is used for table data
4.Forms
Forms can be build using HTML for collecting data
here is an example:
Summary
In this article, We have talk about the web and HTML . In HTML, there are many more tags and those are equally important to them which I mentioned in this blog. I will soon update my github account link also from there you can fetch the files for better understanding
