🛡️HTML

structuring websites with a markup language

HTML (hypertext markup language) consists of a basic representation of a web page's structure which includes its:

• metadata (data about the web page, e.g. title, description)

• order of appearance of page items

• references to styling and scripting

In this section, we will review how to:

• Create a minimal HTML file

• Write notes called comments

• Use HTML tags for structuring (but not styling)

• Use HTML attributes to give a tag more information

• Divide a webpage up into divs

  • Use semantic HTML tags which give tags a little more meaning

• Build HTML tables to display two-dimensional data

• Build HTML forms for user interactivity

• Manipulate the HTML head which gives a webpage its metadata

• Do some optional stuff
