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.

What the <title> Tag Does

No source links recorded for this answer.

The <title> element (placed inside <head>) sets the page’s title string. Key points: - Where it appears - Browser UI: shown in the browser tab, window title, and when bookmarking/favoriting the page. - Search engines: often used as the title shown in search results and influences SEO. - Accessibility: screen readers may announce it; it helps users identify the page. - Social shares and external tools: some platforms use it when generating previews (though Open Graph/Twitter Card tags can override it). - Syntax and placement - Must be inside <head> and there should be exactly one <title> per document: <head> <title>Your page title</title> </head> - Best practices - Keep it concise (typically 50–60 characters for search results). - Make it descriptive and unique for each page (e.g., "Product Name — StoreName"). - Avoid keyword stuffing; prioritize clarity for users. - Use meaningful characters; emojis are allowed but use sparingly. - Technical notes - It’s plain text (HTML entities allowed); HTML tags inside <title> are not rendered. - If missing, browsers show the URL or blank; search engines may generate a title from content.
