HTML Basic Examples
Don't worry if these examples use tags you have not learned.
You will learn them in the next chapters.
HTML Documents
All HTML documents must start with a type declaration: <!DOCTYPE html>.
The HTML document itself begins with <html> and ends with </html>.
The visible part of the HTML document is between <body> and </body>.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
HTML Headings
HTML headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags:
Example
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<h2>This is a heading</h2>
<h3>This is a heading</h3>
HTML Paragraphs
HTML paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag:
Example
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph.</p>
HTML Links
HTML links are defined with the <a> tag:
Example
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com">This is a link</a>
The link address is specified in the href attribute.
Attributes are used to provide additional information about HTML elements.
HTML Elements
HTML documents are made up by HTML elements.
HTML Elements
HTML elements are written with a start tag, with an end tag, with the content in between:
<tagname>content</tagname>
The HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag:
<p>My first HTML paragraph.</p>
Start tag
<h1>
<p>
Element content
My First Heading
My first paragraph.
End tag
</h1>
</p>
