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.

How HTML Links (<a>) Work

No source links recorded for this answer.

An anchor element (<a>) creates a hyperlink that users can click to go somewhere. Basic form: <a href="https://example.com">link text</a> Breakdown: - <a> and </a>: opening and closing tags that wrap the clickable content. The visible text or elements between them is what the user clicks (here, "link text"). - href="https://example.com": the href attribute (short for "hypertext reference") gives the target URL. It can be: - an absolute URL (https://example.com) — goes to that full web address. - a relative URL (e.g., /about.html or images/pic.jpg) — navigates within the same site. - a fragment (#section) — jumps to an anchor/id on the same page. - a mailto: or tel: link (mailto:someone@example.com, tel:+123456789) — opens email client or phone dialer. - Click behavior: browsers navigate to the href when the link is activated (clicked, tapped, or opened via keyboard). - Link text vs accessibility: The text should describe the destination (avoid “click here”). Provide meaningful link text for screen readers. Useful optional attributes: - target="_blank": opens the link in a new tab/window (use rel="noopener noreferrer" with it for security/performance): <a href="https://example.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">example</a> - title="…": additional info shown on hover (not a substitute for clear link text). - rel="nofollow" or other relationship hints for search engines and security. Examples: - Relative internal link: <a href="/contact.html">Contact us</a> - Fragment jump: <a href="#section2">Go to section 2</a> - Email link: <a href="mailto:info@example.com">Email us</a> References: - MDN Web Docs: HTML <a> element — https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a - W3C HTML specification (anchor links) — https://www.w3.org/TR/html52/textlevel-semantics.html#the-a-element
