Syntax
Just like in
English Language, HTML has Syntax. Syntax is a set of rules that govern the
arrangement of elements in a document. Our document here is our HTML script.
The elements in the document are building blocks that play a particular role.
Opening and closing tag
The syntax
for opening and closing a tag is as follows:
Opening Tag:
< element>
Closing Tag:
</element>
Useful Elements
Tags are the
building blocks of HTML. Tags open and close and they are nested in each other.
i.e the <html> tag opens, closes
</html> and it will house other tags within it. You will get a better
understanding of this on an earlier post, the structure of a basic HTML page.
<!DOCTYPE html>
This is the
first thing in an HTML document. It is a declaration that helps the computer identify which
version of HTML you are using. It is not an HTML element, this accounts for the
reason why it does not have a closing tag.
<html> </html> and <body></body>
The main
element in an HTML document is the <html></html>
element. Everything inside a webpage is nested inside the html document.
The body element contains the actual
content of the web page. Everything nested or typed inside <body> and </body> shows up in the web browser.
<h1>
There are
six levels of heading elements:
H1
H2
H3
H4
H5
H6
