Basic HTML Documents

By
Walujjo stephen
• All HTML documents must start with a document 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.

•<h1> defines the most important heading. <h6> defines


the least important heading:
Example
•<h1>This is heading 1</h1>
<h2>This is heading 2</h2>
<h3>This is heading 3</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="https://www.mtac.com">This is a link</a>
•The link's destination is specified in the href attribute.

•Attributes are used to provide additional information


about HTML elements.
HTML Images

HTML images are defined with the <img> tag.

The source file (src), alternative text (alt), width, and height are
provided as attributes:

<img src="mtac.jpg" alt=“mtac" width="104" height="142">
HTML <button> Tag

•Example
A clickable button is marked up as follows:
<button type="button">Click Me!</button>
Definition and Usage

•The <button> tag defines a clickable button.

•Inside a <button> element you can put text (and tags


like <i>, <b>, <strong>, <br>, <img>, etc.). That is not

<li>Tea</li>

starts with the <li> tag.

HTML Description Lists

HTML also supports description lists.

A description list is a list of terms, with a description of each term.

The <dl> tag defines the description list, the <dt> tag defines the
term (name), and the <dd> tag describes each term:
Example
<dl>
<dt>Coffee</dt>
<dd>- black hot drink</dd>
<dt>Milk</dt>
<dd>- white cold drink</dd>
</dl>
