HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) uses tags to structure and display web content in a browser. Tags are enclosed in angle brackets and most have an opening and closing tag. Common tags include headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, and breaks. Elements like <head> and <body> contain metadata and visible page content. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used to style and lay out HTML elements.

HTML Basics

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)


extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML),
Markup languages consist of sets of directions that tell the browser software (and other
user agents such as mobile phones) how to display and manage a web document. These
directions are usually called tags and perform functions such as displaying graphics, formatting
text, and referencing hyperlinks.
World Wide Web is composed of files containing Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
and other markup languages that describe web pages.
Each individual markup code is referred to as an element or tag. Each tag has a purpose.
Tags are enclosed in angle brackets, the < and > symbols. Most tags come in pairs: an
opening tag and a closing tag.
<br> tag that configures a line break
For example, the text that is between the <title> and </title> tags
on a web page would display in the title bar on the browser window.
HTML5 is intended to be the successor to HTML4 and will replace XHTML.
Every single web page you create will include the DTD and the html, head, title,
meta, and body elements.
Document Type Definition (DTD).

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Page Title Goes Here</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
... body text and more HTML tags go here ...
</body>
</html>

The head section contains information that describes the web page document. The body section
contains the actual tags, text, images, and other objects that are displayed by the browser as a
web page.

The body element contains the body section, which begins with the <body> tag and ends
with the </body> tag.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>My First HTML5 Web Page</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
Hello World
</body>
</html>

Heading elements are organized into six levels: h1 through h6.

Hands-On Practice 2.2


To create the web page shown in Figure 2.5, launch Notepad or another text editor.
Select File > Open to edit the HTML5 template file located at chapter2/template.html
in the student
files. Modify the title element and add heading tags to the body section
as indicated by the following
highlighted code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Heading Example</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Heading Level 1</h1>
<h2>Heading Level 2</h2>
<h3>Heading Level 3</h3>
<h4>Heading Level 4</h4>
<h5>Heading Level 5</h5>
<h6>Heading Level 6</h6>
</body>
</html>

Paragraph elements are used to group sentences and sections of text together. Text that is
contained by <p> and </p> tags display as a “block” (referred to as block display) and
will appear with empty space above and below it.
Hands-On Practice 2.3
To create the web page shown in Figure 2.7, launch a text editor. Select File > Open to
edit the file located at chapter2/heading.html in the student files. Modify the page title,
and add a paragraph of text to your page below the line with the <h1> tags and above
the line with the <h2> tags. Use the following code as an example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Paragraph Example</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Heading Level 1</h1>
<p>This is a sample paragraph. Heading tags can help to make your
pages more accessible and usable. It is good coding practice to use
heading tags to outline the structure of your web page content.
</p>
<h2>Heading Level 2</h2>
<h3>Heading Level 3</h3>
<h4>Heading Level 4</h4>
<h5>Heading Level 5</h5>
<h6>Heading Level 6</h6>
</body>
</html>

The purpose of an attribute is to modify the properties of an HTML element. In this case, the align
attribute modifies the element’s horizontal alignment (left, center, or right) on a web page. To
center an element on a web page, use the attribute align="center". To right-align the text within an
element, use the align="right" attribute.

The line break element causes the browser to advance to the next line before displaying the
next element or portion of text on a web page. The line break tag is not coded as a pair of
opening and closing tags. It is a stand-alone, or void element, and is coded as <br>.
<body>
<h1>Heading Level 1</h1>
<p>This is a sample paragraph. <br> Heading tags can help to make your
pages more accessible and usable. It is good coding practice to use
heading tags to outline the structure of your web page content.
</p>
<h2>Heading Level 2</h2>
<h3>Heading Level 3</h3>
<h4>Heading Level 4</h4>
<h5>Heading Level 5</h5>
<h6>Heading Level 6</h6>
</body>

In addition to organizing text in paragraphs and headings, sometimes you need to add a quotation
to a web page. The blockquote element is used to display a block of quoted text in a special
way—indented from both the left and right margins. A block of indented text begins with a
<blockquote> tag and ends with a </blockquote> tag.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Blockquote Example</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<h1>The Power of the Web</h1>

The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone
regardless of disability is an essential aspect.

the ordered list,

Ordered lists begin with an <ol> tag and end with an </ol> tag. Each list item begins
with an <li> tag and ends with an </li> tag.
<h1>My Favorite Colors</h1>
<ol>

<li>Teal</li>
<li>Red</li>
</ol>

<ol type="A">.

description list
A description list is useful for organizing terms and their descriptions. The terms stand out, and their
descriptions can be as long as needed to convey your message. Each term begins on its own line at the
margin.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Description List</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">

<body>

along with the Internet Protocol (IP) to send data in the form of
