HTML Tags Elements


HTML TAG Library

Document Metadata

Metadata contains information about the page. This includes


information about styles, scripts and data to help software (search
engines, browsers, etc.) use and render the page. Metadata for styles
and scripts may be defined in the page or link to another file that has
the information.

<base> The HTML element specifies the base URL to use for all relative
URLs contained within a document. There can be only one
element in a document.

<head > The HTML element provides general information (metadata) about
the document, including its title and links to its scripts and style
sheets.

<link> The HTML element specifies relationships between the current


document and an external resource. Possible uses for this element
include defining a relational framework for navigation. This
Element is most used to link to style sheets.

<meta > The HTML element represents any metadata information that
cannot be represented by one of the other HTML meta-related
elements (<base>, <link>, <script>, <style> or <title>

<style > The HTML <style> element contains style information for
a document, or part of a document. By default, the style
instructions written inside that element are expected to be
CSS.

<title> The HTML <title> element defines the title of the


document, shown in a browser's title bar or on the page's
tab. It can only contain text, and any contained tags are
ignored.
Content sectioning
Content sectioning elements allow you to organize the document
content into logical pieces. Use the sectioning elements to create a
broad outline for your page content, including header and footer
navigation, and heading elements to identify sections of content.
<footer > The HTML element represents a footer for its nearest sectioning
content or sectioning root element. A footer typically contains
information about the author of the section, copyright data or links
to related documents.
<header> The HTML element represents a group of introductory or
navigational aids. It may contain some heading elements but also
other elements like a logo, wrapped section's header, a search
form, and so on.

<h1>, Heading elements implement six levels of document


<h2>,<h3>, headings, <h1> is the most important and <h6> is
<h4> , <h5>, the least. A heading element briefly describes the
<h6> topic of the section it introduces. Heading information
may be used by user agents, for example, to
construct a table of contents for a document
automatically(just like the fixed sider bar of this page
on the right).

<nav> The HTML <nav> element (HTML Navigation


Element) represents a section of a page that links to
other pages or to parts within the page: a section with
navigation links.

Text content
Use HTML text content elements to organize blocks or sections of
content placed between the opening <body> and closing </body>
tags. Important for accessibility and SEO, these elements identify the
purpose or structure of that content.
<div> The HTML <div> element (or HTML Document Division
Element) is the generic container for flow content, which
does not inherently represent anything. It can be used to
group elements for styling purposes (using the class or id
attributes), or because they share attribute values, such as
lang. It should be used only when no other semantic
element (such as <article> or <nav>) is appropriate
<dl> The HTML <dl> element (or HTML Description List
Element) encloses a list of pairs of terms and descriptions.
Common uses for this element are to implement a glossary
or to display metadata (a list of key-value pairs).

<dt> The HTML <dt> element (or HTML Definition Term


Element) identifies a term in a definition list. This element
can occur only as a child element of a <dl>. It is usually
followed by a <dd> element; however, multiple <dt>
elements in a row indicate several terms that are all defined
by the immediate next <dd> element.

<li> The HTML <li> element (or HTML List Item Element) is
used to represent an item in a list. It must be contained in a
parent element: an ordered list (<ol>), an unordered list
(<ul>), or a menu (<menu>). In menus and unordered lists,
list items are usually displayed using bullet points. In
ordered lists, they are usually displayed with an ascending
counter on the left, such as a number or letter.

<main> The HTML <main> element represents the main content


of the<body> of a document or application. The main
content area consists of content that is directly related to, or
expands upon the central topic of a document or the central
functionality of an application. This content should be
unique to the document, excluding any content that is
repeated across a set of documents such as sidebars,
navigation links, copyright information, site logos, and
search forms (unless the document's main function is as a
search form).

<ol> The HTML <ol> Element (or HTML Ordered List Element)
represents an ordered list of items. Typically, ordered-list
items are displayed with a preceding numbering, which can
be of any form, like numerals, letters or Romans numerals
or even simple bullets. This numbered style is not defined
in the HTML description of the page, but in its associated
CSS, using the list-style-type property.

<p> The HTML <p> element (or HTML Paragraph Element)


represents a paragraph of text.
<pre> The HTML <pre> element (or HTML Preformatted Text)
represents preformatted text. Text within this element is
typically displayed in a non-proportional ("monospace") font
exactly as it is laid out in the file. Whitespace inside this
element is displayed as typed.

<ul> The HTML <ul> element (or HTML Unordered List


Element)represents an unordered list of items, namely a
collection of items that do not have a numerical ordering,
and their order in the list is meaningless. Typically,
unordered-list items are displayed with a bullet, which can
be of several forms, like a dot, a circle or a squared. The
bullet style is not defined in the HTML description of the
page, but in its associated CSS, using the list-styletype property.

Inline Text Semantics


Use the HTML inline text semantic to define the meaning, structure,
or style of a word, line, or any arbitrary
<a> The HTML Anchor Element (<a>) defines a hyperlink to a
location on the same page or any other page on the Web. It
can also be used (in an obsolete way) to create an anchor
point—a destination for hyperlinks within the content of a
page, so that links aren't limited to connecting simply to the
top of a page.

<br> The HTML element line break <br> produces a line break
in text (carriage-return). It is useful for writing a poem or an
address, where the division of lines is significant.

<code> The HTML Code Element (<code>) represents a fragment


of computer code. By default, it is displayed in the
browser's default monospace font.

<q> The HTML Quote Element (<q>) indicates that the


enclosed text is a short inline quotation. This element is
intended for short quotations that don't require paragraph
breaks; for long quotations use <blockquote> element.

<s> The HTML Strikethrough Element (<s>) renders text with a


strikethrough, or a line through it. Use the <s> element to
represent things that are no longer relevant or no longer
accurate. However, <s> is not appropriate when indicating
document edits; for that, use the <del> and <ins>
elements, as appropriate.

<small> The HTML Small Element (<small>) makes the text font size one
size smaller (for example, from large to medium, or from small to
x-small) down to the browser's minimum font size. In HTML5, this
element is repurposed to represent side-comments and small
print, including copyright and legal text, independent of its styled
presentation.
<strong> The HTML Strong Element (<strong>) gives text strong
importance, and is typically displayed in bold.

<sub> The HTML Subscript Element (<sub>) defines a span of


text that should be displayed, for typographic reasons,
lower, and often smaller, than the main span of text.
<u> The HTML Underline Element (<u>) renders text with an
underline, a line under the baseline of its content.
Images & Multimedia
HTML supports various multimedia resources such as images, audio,
and video.
<area> The HTML <area> element defines a hot-spot region on
an image, and optionally associates it with a hypertext link.
This element is used only within a <map> element.
<audio> The HTML <audio> element is used to embed sound
content in documents. It may contain one or more audio
sources, represented using the srcattribute or the
<source> element; the browser will choose the most
suitable one.
<map> The HTML <map> element is used with <area> elements
to define an image map (a clickable link area).
<track> The HTML <track> element is used as a child of the
media elements—<audio> and <video>. It lets you
specify timed text tracks (or time-based data), for example
to automatically handle subtitles. The tracks are formatted
in WebVTT format (.vtt files) — Web Video Text Tracks.
<video> Use the HTML <video> element to embed video content
in a document. The video element contains one or more
video sources. To specify a video source, use either the
src attribute or the <source> element; the browser will
choose the most suitable one.
Embedded content
In addition to regular multimedia content, HTML can include a variety
of other content, even if it's not always easy to interact with.
<embed> The HTML <embed> Element represents an integration
point for an external application or interactive content (in
other words, a plug-in).
<object> The HTML Embedded Object Element (<object>)
represents an external resource, which can be treated as
an image, a nested browsing context, or a resource to be
handled by a plugin.
<param> The HTML <param> Element (or HTML Parameter
Element) defines parameters for <object>.
<source> Editorial review completed.
Scripting
In order to create dynamic content and Web applications, HTML
supports the use of scripting languages, most prominently JavaScript.
Certain elements support this capability.
<script> The HTML Script Element (<script>) is used to embed
or reference an executable script within an HTML or
XHTML document.
<noscript> The HTML <noscript> Element defines a section of
html to be inserted if a script type on the page is
unsupported or if scripting is currently turned off in the
browser
<canvas> The HTML <canvas> Element can be used to draw
graphics via scripting (usually JavaScript). For example,
it can be used to draw graphs, make photo compositions
or even perform animations. You may (and should)
provide alternate content inside the <canvas> block.
That content will be rendered both on older browsers that
don't support canvasand in browsers with JavaScript
disabled.
Table Content
The elements here are used to create and handle tabular data.
<caption> The HTML <caption> Element (or HTML Table
Caption Element) represents the title of a table. Though it
is always the first descendant of a <table>, its styling,
using CSS, may place it elsewhere, relative to the table
<col> The HTML Table Column Element (<col>) defines a
column within a table and is used for defining common
semantics on all common cells. It is generally found
within a <colgroup> element.

<colgroup> The HTML Table Column Group Element (<colgroup>)


defines a group of columns within a table.

<table> The HTML Table Element (<table>) represents tabular


data: information expressed via two dimensions or more.

<tbody> The HTML Table Body Element (<tbody>) defines one or more
<tr>element data-rows to be the body of its parent <table>
element (as long as no <tr> elements are immediate children of
that table element.) Inconjunction with a preceding <thead>
and/or <tfoot> element, <tbody> provides additional semantic
information for devices such as printers and displays. Of the
parent table's child elements, <tbody> represents the content
which, when longer than a page, will most likely differ for each
page printed; while the content of <thead> and <tfoot> will be the
same or similar for each page printed. For displays, <tbody> will
enable separate scrolling of the <thead>, <tfoot>, and <caption>
elements of the same parent <table> element.

<td> The Table cell HTML element (<td>) defines a cell of a


table that contains data. It participates in the table model.

<tfoot> The HTML Table Foot Element (<tfoot>) defines a set


of rows summarizing the columns of the table.

<th> The HTML element table header cell <th> defines a cell
as a header for a group of cells of a table. The group of
cells that the header refers to is defined by the scope
and headers attribute.

<th> The HTML Table Head Element (<thead>) defines a set


of rows defining the head of the columns of the table.

<tr> The HTML element table row <tr> defines a row of cells
in a table. Those can be a mix of <td> and <th>
elements.
Forms
HTML provides a number of elements which can be used together to
create forms which the user can fill out and submit to the Web site or
application. There's a great deal of further information about this
available in the HTML forms guide.
<datalist> The HTML Datalist Element (<datalist>) contains a set of
<option>elements that represent the values available
for other controls.
<fieldset> The HTML <fieldset> element is used to group several controls as
well as labels (<label>) within a web form.

<form> The HTML <form> element represents a document section that


contains interactive controls to submit information to a web
server.

<input> The HTML element <input> is used to create interactive


controls for web-based forms in order to accept data from
the user. How an <input>works varies considerably
depending on the value of its type attribute.
<label> The HTML Label Element (<label>) represents a caption for an item
in a user interface. It can be associated with a control either by
placing the control element inside the <label> element, or by using
the for attribute. Such a control is called the labelled control
of the label element. One input can be associated with multiple
labels.
<legend> The HTML <legend> Element (or HTML Legend Field Element)
represents a caption for the content of its parent <fieldset>.
<option> In a Web form, the HTML <option> element is used tocreate a
control representing an item within a <select>,an <optgroup> or
a<datalist> HTML5 element.
<output> The HTML <output> element represents the result of a calculation
or user action.
<progress> The HTML <progress> Element is used to view the completion
progress of a task. While the specifics of howit's displayed is left up
to the browser developer, it's typically displayed as a progress bar.
Javascript can be used to manipulate the value of progress bar.
<select The HTML select (<select>) element represents a control that
presents a menu of options. The options within the menu are
represented by<option> elements, which can be grouped by
<optgroup> elements. Options can be pre-selected for the user.
<textarea> The HTML <textarea> element represents a multiline plain-text
editing control.
Interactive elements
HTML offers a selection of elements which help to create interactive
user interface objects.
<details> The HTML Details Element (<details>) is used as a
disclosure widget from which the user can retrieve
additional information.
<dialog> The HTML <dialog> element represents a dialog box or other
interactive component, such as an inspector or window. <form>
elements can be integrated within a dialog by specifying them with
the attribute method ="dialog". When such a form is
submitted, the dialog is closed with a returnValue attribute set to
the value of the submit button used.
<menu> The HTML <menu> element represents a group of commands that
a user can perform or activate. This includes both list menus,
which might appear across the top of a screen, as well as context
menus, such as those that might appear underneath a button
after it has been clicked.
<menuitem> The HTML <menuitem> element represents a command that a
user is able to invoke through a popup menu. This includes
context menus, as well as menus that might be attached to a
menu button.
<summary> The HTML summary element (<summary>) is used as a summary,
caption, or legend for the content of a <details> element.
Web Components
Web Components is an HTML-related technology which makes it
possible to, essentially, create and use custom elements as if it were
regular HTML. In addition, you can even create custom versions of
standard HTML elements, as well.
<content> The HTML <content> element is used inside ofShadow DOM as an
insertion point. It is not intended tobe used in ordinary HTML. It is
used with WebComponents. It has now been replaced by the
<slot>element.
<element> The HTML <element> element is used to define new
custom DOM elements.
<shadow> The HTML <shadow> element is used as a shadow DOM insertion
point. You might use it if you have created multiple shadow roots
under a shadow host. It is not useful in ordinary HTML. It is used
with Web Components.
<template> The HTML template element <template> is a mechanism for
holding client-side content that is not to be rendered when a page
is loaded but may subsequently be instantiated during runtime
using JavaScript.
