Bare-Bones Basics of HTML

No source links recorded for this answer.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language for creating web pages. It uses tags to structure content. Key points: - Document structure - <!DOCTYPE html> — declares HTML5. - <html> — root element. - <head> — metadata: <title>, <meta>, <link>, <style>, <script> (usually not visible). - <body> — visible content: text, images, links, lists, etc. - Basic tags - <title>Your page title</title> — shown in browser tab (inside head). - Headings: <h1>…</h1> to <h6>…</h6>. - Paragraph: <p>Paragraph text</p>. - Links: <a href="https://example.com">link text</a>. - Images: <img src="image.jpg" alt="description"> (self-closing; include alt). - Lists: - Unordered: <ul><li>Item</li></ul> - Ordered: <ol><li>Item</li></ol> - Line break: <br> - Horizontal rule: <hr> - Attributes - Provide extra info inside opening tag: <tag attribute="value">. - Common attributes: id, class, href, src, alt, title, style. - Nesting and well-formedness - Tags should be properly opened and closed and nested (e.g., <p><strong>text</strong></p>). - Example minimal page <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>My Page</title> </head> <body> <h1>Hello</h1> <p>This is a minimal HTML page.</p> <a href="https://example.com">Visit example</a> </body> </html> - Where to learn next - Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) HTML guide: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML - W3C HTML specification and tutorials: https://www.w3.org/ and https://www.w3schools.com/html/ Tips: start by editing the example file, open it in a browser, and change tags/attributes to see effects.

The Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) HTML guide is a comprehensive, up-to-date reference and learning resource for HTML maintained by Mozilla and the web developer community. It’s widely trusted because it combines clear tutorials with authoritative reference material and follows current web standards. What you’ll find there - Introduction & basics: Clear, beginner-friendly explanations of HTML concepts (elements, attributes, document structure). - Tutorials: Step-by-step guides for common tasks (creating pages, forms, media, accessibility basics). - Reference pages: Detailed entries for every HTML element and global attributes, showing allowed content, examples, and browser compatibility. - Examples & live demos: Code snippets you can copy and try immediately. - Best practices: Advice on semantics, accessibility (ARIA), and modern patterns (responsive design). - Browser compatibility: Notes on which features work in which browsers and versions. - Links to related topics: CSS, JavaScript, HTTP, and web APIs so you can learn the full stack of front-end web development. Why use MDN - Accuracy: Kept current with web standards (W3C, WHATWG) and real-world browser behavior. - Practical focus: Balances clear conceptual explanations with runnable examples. - Community-reviewed: Content is edited and improved by many developers, reducing errors. - Free and ad-free: Openly accessible without paywalls. How to use it effectively - Start with “HTML basics” pages to learn structure and common tags. - Use the element reference when you need precise behavior, attributes, or examples. - Check the browser compatibility table before using newer features. - Follow accessibility guidance included with many entries to make pages usable for more people.
