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.

HTML Headings (<h1> to <h6>)

No source links recorded for this answer.

Headings in HTML are used to define the hierarchical structure of a page’s content. They range from <h1> (most important) to <h6> (least important). Use them to indicate sections, subsections, and so on. Key points: - Purpose: Show document structure and hierarchy. Think of them like chapter and sub‑chapter titles. - Syntax: <h1>Top heading</h1>, <h2>Subheading</h2>, …, <h6>Smallest heading</h6>. - Semantic, not just visual: Browsers and assistive technologies (screen readers) use heading levels to help users navigate content. Search engines also use them to understand page structure. - Only one <h1> per page is recommended for the main title (but not strictly required by HTML). Use subsequent levels (<h2>, <h3>, ...) for nested sections. - Logical order matters: Nest headings in sequence (e.g., don’t jump from <h1> to <h4> without intermediate levels) to keep structure clear. - Styling: Headings come with default sizes, but you should not use size alone to indicate importance—use the appropriate heading level and style via CSS if you want different visuals. - Example: <h1>Site Title</h1> <h2>Section</h2> <h3>Subsection</h3> - Accessibility tip: Use headings to create a clear outline so keyboard and screen‑reader users can quickly navigate the page.
