What is HTML?

 HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language


 HTML is the standard markup language for creating Web pages
 HTML describes the structure of a Web page
 HTML consists of a series of elements
 HTML elements tell the browser how to display the content
 HTML elements label pieces of content such as "this is a heading", "this
is a paragraph", "this is a link", etc.

</head>
<body>

<h1>My First Heading</h1>


<p>My first paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>
Example Explained

 The <!DOCTYPE html> declaration defines that this document is an


HTML5 document
 The <html> element is the root element of an HTML page
 The <head> element contains meta information about the HTML page
 The <title> element specifies a title for the HTML page (which is shown
in the browser's title bar or in the page's tab)
 The <body> element defines the document's body, and is a container for
all the visible contents, such as headings, paragraphs, images, hyperlinks,
tables, lists, etc.
 The <h1> element defines a large heading
 The <p> element defines a paragraph

HTML Documents

All HTML documents must start with a document type declaration: <!
DOCTYPE html>.

The HTML document itself begins with <html> and ends with </html>.

The visible part of the HTML document is between <body> and </body>.

Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Heading</h1>


<p>My first paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

The <!DOCTYPE> Declaration

The <!DOCTYPE> declaration represents the document type, and helps


browsers to display web pages correctly.

It must only appear once, at the top of the page (before any HTML tags).

The <!DOCTYPE> declaration is not case sensitive.

The <!DOCTYPE> declaration for HTML5 is:

<!DOCTYPE html>

HTML Headings

HTML headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags.

<h1> defines the most important heading. <h6> defines the least important
heading:

Example
<h1>This is heading 1</h1>
<h2>This is heading 2</h2>
<h3>This is heading 3</h3>

HTML Paragraphs

HTML paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag:

Example
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph.</p>
Empty HTML Elements

HTML elements with no content are called empty elements.


The <br> tag defines a line break, and is an empty element without a closing
tag:

Example
<p>This is a <br> paragraph with a line break.</p>

HTML Links

HTML links are defined with the <a> tag:

Example
<a href="[Link] is a link</a>

The link's destination is specified in the href attribute.

Attributes are used to provide additional information about HTML elements.

You will learn more about attributes in a later chapter.

HTML Images

HTML images are defined with the <img> tag.

The source file (src), alternative text (alt), width, and height are provided as
attributes:

Example
<img src="images/[Link]" width="104" height="142">
