Basic HTML for Website

Builders
What is HTML?

 HTML is the language used to describe


web pages.
 HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup
Language.
HTML Documents=Web Pages

 HTML contain plain text and HTML tags.


 A web browser is used to read HTML
documents and display them as web
pages.
Example

<html>
<body>
<p>This is my first paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
 The <html> element defines the whole
HTML document.
Tags

 HTML tags are keywords surrounded by


angular brackets. (< >)
 Tags usually come in pairs.
Headings

 Headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6>


tags.
 <h1> defines the largest heading. <h6> defines the
smallest heading.
 Use HTML headings for headings only. Don’t
use them to make text big or bold.
 Search engines use your headings to index
the structure and content of your web
pages.
Example

<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<h2>This is a heading</h2>
<h3>This is a heading</h3>
Paragraphs

 Paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag.


 Don’t forget the end tag! Forgetting the end
tag may lead to unexpected results and
errors.
Breaks

 Use the <br /> tag if you want a new line


without starting a new paragraph.
 The <br /> tag is an empty tag, which
means it doesn’t have an end tag.
Text Formatting

 HTML uses tags like <b> and <i> for


formatting output, like bold or italic text.
Styles

 Use style attributes as a common way to


style all HTML elements.
Example
<html>
<body style="background-
color:PowderBlue;">
<h1>Look! Styles and colors</h1>
<p style="font-
family:verdana;color:red">This text
is in Verdana and red</p><p
style="font-
family:times;color:green">This text
is in Times and green</p>
<p style="font-size:30px">This text is 30
pixels high</p>
</body>
</html>
Links

 In web terms, a hyperlink is a reference


to a resource on the web.
 Hyperlinks can point to any resource on the
web: an HTML page, an image, a sound
file, a movie, etc.
Example

<a href="url">Link text</a>


 <a href=”http://www.sctc.edu">Visit St. Cloud
Technical College!</a>

 The start tag contains attributes about


the link.
 The element content (Link text) defines
the part to be displayed.
Images
 In HTML, images are defined with the
<img> tag.
 To display an image on a page, you need
to use the src attribute. Src stands for
"source". The value of the src attribute is
the URL of the image you want to display
on your page.
 The URL points to the location where the
image is stored.
Example

<img src="boat.gif" alt="Big Boat" />


 The img src points to the URL
where the image is stored.
 The "alt" attribute tells the reader
what he or she is missing on a
page if the browser can't load
images.
Colors

 HTML colors are defined using a


hexadecimal (hex) notation for the
combination of Red, Green, and
Blue color values (RGB).
Web Safe Colors
 Some years ago, when
computers supported max
256 different colors, a list
of 216 "Web Safe Colors"
was suggested as a Web
standard.
 This is not as important
now, since most
computers can display
millions of different colors,
but here is the list to
demonstrate hex notation:
Putting It Together
Below is an example of an HTML document using most
of the tags we just learned.
<html>
<body style="background-color:#FFFF00">
<h1 style="text-align:center"> Look! A
heading! </h1>
<p style="font-family:courier new;
color:#FF0000; font-
size:20px"><big>This is a
paragraph.</big></p>
