1What is HTML?
Hypertext Markup Language
2What is HTML used for?
It the code to help structure websites with a list of bullet points or images
3Why are we learning HTML?
Building a website this will help how it will look and act for users who would visit your website.
4What is an HTML tag?
As someone who knows nothing about programming other answers if I’ve got my understanding incorrect.
There are like commands that highlight text with opening and closing tags e.g

then something.
To close it off you need to do this at the right place or you get something different using the same tag but with a forward slash

I believe there are loads of them but the command are the same Open <?> to close remembering the forward slash
5What is the structure of an HTML tag?
Think I covered this question 4
6What is an attribute?
You have an opening and closing tag and all together this is an element. inside this element you can have attribute for targeting later with style things and other stuff. I’ll guess I understand this later.
7What is the anatomy of an HTML document?
This wraps up the basics of the HTML elements starting with Doctype html you have your head elements and body elements
this bit I didn’t undertsand — this element sets the character set your document should use to UTF-8, which includes most characters from the vast majority of human written languages. Essentially it can now handle any textual content you might put on it. There is no reason not to set this, and it can help avoid some problems later on. think its importance.

Really enjoying this

1- HTML stands for hypertext markup language, it uses a system of tags that can be used to “wrap” or enclose portions of content to make it look or act a certain way.
2- It is used to define the structure of a piece of content, such a s website.
3- Learning HTML is important because it will allow us to create simple websites that will act as the front-end to the dApps we will build in the future. It’s also a nice introduction to how programming works, for those unfamiliar.
4- An HTML Tag is the basic “building block” of HTML. There are many different tags, each has a different use-case, and together they make-up HTML as a tool.
5- The structure of the HTML tag is as follows: <tag_name>content</tag_name>. The first part “opens” the tag, and the second part (which consists of the same tag name and a “/” preceding it closes it. Not all tags need to be closed they are not all used to “wrap” something. An example is the img tag.
6-An attribute is used to define additional properties of an element that don’t necessarily need to be visible for the user. In the tag, the attribute “src” (source) is used to identify the source directory of the image being displayed.
7- We have 5 main elements:

  • a legacy requirement from the early days of HTML.
  • wraps the entire document, it's used to open and close the entirety of the content. Known as "root element"
  • is used to provide all the information about the content that isn't shown to viewers. These can include keywords or page descriptions that will be shown in search results, or character sets to be used in the document.
  • is where all the content shown to viewers of the page will be included. It's the bulk of any HTML document.
  • this is the "name" of the document. This name will be displayed on the browser's tab, for instance.

You were close. Attributes contain extra information about the element that you don’t want to appear in the actual content.

i knew that and i will be more detailed in my answers next time. thank you for catching that.

  1. HTML is the acronym for Hypertext Markup Language - it is therefore a markup language
  2. It is used to define the structure of the content in a website or app
  3. We are learning HTML so that we can know how to create an interface (the front end) for the smart contract we’ll learn further ahead
  4. An HTML tag is the name of the element on the page, and it states where that element begins (opening tag) and ends (closing tag)
  5. The structure of a HTML tag is, for opening tags: opening brackets, the name of the element, closing brackets (e.g.: <p>). For closing tags, it’s the same thing, but we also add a forward slash (e.g.: </p>)
  6. Attributes contain extra information about the element that you don’t want to appear in the actual content.
  7. The anatomy of HTML document consists mainly of a html element that wraps all the content; a head element (where all the information about the page itself goes, but that won’t be displayed on the webpage); and a body element, which will include all the content we want to be displayed on our page.
#203

thank you @SK69! I downloaded VScode and try it! it is really cool to see it on live server :slightly_smiling_face: but I am gonna stick with atom for now because i am getting use to it. maybe later i ll jump into VScode
Again many thanks!!

Great answer.

Just to add to #3. I think we need to program an app so we’ll need to know HTML for the frontend.

Best with the course.
