STUDY GUIDE

INTRODUCTION TO HTML
Overview
» Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) was invented by a physicist, Tim Berners-Lee, to help computers share information.
» It’s a simple, text-based computer language that tells computers how to send information over a network and render it into a form
readable by a user.

HTML Format
» An HTML element consists of an opening tag, a closing tag, and the text in between. Tags tell the computer what to do with a particular
bit of information.
Opening tags are structured like this: <xx>
Closing tags are similar, but include a forward slash: </xx>

HTML Hierarchy
» HTML tags follow a specific structure, called a hierarchy.
» Certain elements, called child elements, fit inside of other elements, called parent elements.
» Indentation helps visually distinguish child elements from their parents.

HTML Boilerplate
HTML boilerplate should be inserted at the beginning of any HTML document. It looks like this:

The tags of HTML boilerplate


» <!DOCTYPE html>: Tells the web browser that the following document will be in HTML.
» <html>: Bookends your HTML instructions, signaling where they begin and where they end.
» <head>: The <head> tag comes before and after your metadata, the information that helps identify your webpage so it can show up in
search results.
» <title>: Refers to the web page name that appears in search engine results and at the top of your browser window or tab. This title will not
display on your webpage itself.
» <body>: The tag that flanks the contents of your webpage: the text, images, and hyperlinks that will be displayed for visitors to your site.​
