In HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), elements are the building blocks of a web page. An HTML document is composed of a series of elements, each represented by tags. Tags define the structure and content of the document, and they are written using angle brackets < >. Here’s a brief overview of HTML elements and tags:
Element Structure:
An HTML element consists of an opening tag, content, and a closing tag.
Opening Tag: <tagname>
Closing Tag: </tagname>
Content: The actual content of the element goes between the opening and closing tags.
<!DOCTYPE html>
: Specifies the HTML version being used (HTML5 in this case).
<html>
: The root element that wraps all content on the page.
<head>
: Contains meta-information about the HTML document, such as the title, character set, styles, etc.
<title>
: Sets the title of the HTML document, which appears in the browser’s title bar or tab.
<body>
: Contains the main content of the HTML document.
<h1>
to <h6>
: Headings, with <h1>
being the largest and <h6>
the smallest.
<p>
: Paragraph.
<a>
: Anchor, used for hyperlinks.
<img>
: Image.
<ul>
: Unordered list.
<ol>
: Ordered list.
<li>
: List item.
<div>
: Division or a container that helps structure the layout.
<span>
: Inline container typically used for styling a specific piece of text.
Attributes:
HTML tags can have attributes that provide additional information about the element.
Attributes are added to the opening tag and are usually name-value pairs, like attribute=”value”.
Example: <a href="https://www.example.com">Visit Example</a>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My First HTML Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
