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 <ol> and <li> Mean — Ordered Lists in HTML

No source links recorded for this answer.

An ordered list (<ol>) creates a sequence of items that are numbered by the browser. Each item inside the list is marked with an <li> (list item) tag. The basic structure: - <ol> starts the ordered list. - <li>…</li> wraps each item. - </ol> ends the ordered list. Example: <ol> <li>First item</li> <li>Second item</li> <li>Third item</li> </ol> Behavior and useful attributes: - Default numbering is 1., 2., 3., etc. Browsers render numbers automatically. - type — controls numbering style (deprecated in HTML5 but still supported): - type="1" (numbers), type="a" (lowercase letters), type="A" (uppercase letters), type="i" (lowercase Roman), type="I" (uppercase Roman). Example: <ol type="A">…</ol> - start — sets the initial number/value: Example: <ol start="5"> starts numbering at 5 (so items show 5., 6., ...). - value attribute on <li> — sets that item’s specific number (useful for non-sequential numbering): Example: <li value="10">This item is numbered 10</li> - CSS can change appearance (e.g., list-style-type, list-style-position). Nesting: - You can nest lists. A nested <ol> inside an <li> creates a sub-numbered list. Example: <ol> <li>Item A <ol> <li>Subitem A.1</li> </ol> </li> </ol> Accessibility: - Use semantic markup (<ol>/<li>) rather than manually numbered paragraphs; screen readers announce the list and item counts. - Use <li> only inside <ol> or <ul> (or <menu>). References: - MDN: Ordered lists — https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ol - HTML Living Standard: list element details — https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/grouping-content.html#the-ol-element That's the core: <ol> defines a numbered list, and each <li> is one numbered entry.
