  1. HTML = Hypertext Markup Language is the markup language (not programming language) code used to structure a webpage and its content.

  2. HTML is used to make webpage content act or appear a certain way.

  3. HTML is the fundamental content-structuring language used for websites. We are learning HTML so that we have the ability to create platforms (frontend) for our smart contracts (backend) = the ability to create the user interface of a Dapp.

  4. HTML tags name and indicate the start and finish of an HTML element - they are bookends containing the essential info of an element.

  • = this is the opening tag - p indicates the name of the element - < > indicates this is the start of the element.

  • = this is the closin tag - p indicates the name of the element - < / > indicates this is the end of the element.

  1. Attributes can be added to elements for the purpose of adding extra information about the element that you don’t want visible is the actual content.

  2. The anatomy of an HTML document represent the sum and order of all individual elements that make up that HTML document.

<h1>My attempt at making a nice heading with HTML</h1>
<h2>And now here is my beautiful list of answers</h2>
<ul>
<li>1 & 2. HTML stands for hypertext markup language and is the code used to
build a website and structure it's content. It is not a programming language,
but rather a means of defining the structure of the content</li>
<li>3. It is important to learn HTML because it will allow you to develop
front end web pages that are able to interact with the back-end blockchain</li>
<li>4 & 5. An HTML tag contains an element name enclosed in angle brackets.
There are both opening and closing tags, determining where an element begins
and ends, respectively. Closing tags differ from opening tags in that they have
a forward slash preceding the element name. They essentially define how the
subsequent content, or lack thereof, will be displayed on the webpage.
In other words, how the web browser interprets the content you are
providing</li>
<li>6. An attribute is additional information you do not want to appear in the
actual content. For example, when providing a link to a website, the attribute
will define where the link goes, but will not display the full web
address.</li>
<li>7. HTML documents consist of the html element which wraps
all content on the page, head element, title element and the body element.</li>
</ul>

  1. HTML is a markup language.
  2. HTML enables a person to wrap content to make it appear a certain way, or give it certain characteristics.
  3. Learning HTML will provide us with fundamental coding knowledge that will also enable us to recognize other types of code. Think of learning to walk before you run; slow and steady wins the race.
  4. An HTML tag contains the alphanumerical element wrapped in opening and closing - indicating where an element begins and ends.
  5. example "< p>, < /p> (I know there isn’t supposed to be a space in the tag, I just put it there so there wouldn’t be a real paragraph break in the answer.)
  6. Attributes contain hidden information about the element that can be easily referenced later.
  7. Doctype, html, head, meta character set, title, body.

  1. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It’s a markup language and not a programming language, used for building and editing websites.

  2. HTML essentially sets the structure of the data and information you want to include/display on your website. You can set and modify a large number of parameters such as titles, headers, paragraphs, lists, images, hyperlinks, etc. HTML is a powerful tool for building a website and making it look the way you want it.

  3. To be able to build products on the blockchain, you will also need a place to display your products, which means you will need a website. So learning how to program a website and making it function and look the way you need is an important skill that can greatly enhance your blockchain development. HTML is also a great starting point for a user to learn how to program, and that experience will carry over to blockchain programming and javascript programming.

  4. HTML tags define elements, and enclose them within an opening tag and a closing tab. This helps give specific elements on your website specific properties, or displays them in a specific format.

  5. HTML tags consist of opening and closing angle brackets <>, with the element type (its respective symbol/syntax) in between the angle brackets. Closing tags also require a forward slash within the angle brackets. An example of a HTML tag would be something like:

  6. An attribute is a part of an element, and contains extra information about the element that you do not want displayed on your website content. Attributes consist of an attribute name and value. Attributes must have a space between them and the element name (or previous attribute should it exist), followed by a “=” sign, and then the attribute value wrapped with opening and closing quotation marks.

  7. The anatomy of a HTML document is as follows:

  • : The doctype, which is a requirement for the document to behave correctly.
  • : which is the html element, which wraps all the content on the page and is called the root element.
  • : which contains all the information in your html page that is not content you want to show your website users.
  • : which sets the title of your page, which shows on the website browser tab
  • : which contains the content you want to display to your users, and will include all the other elements you need for your website.

  1. HTML is basically a markup language that is used for programing/coding websites. I would compare it with the alphabet(ABC), like when you put some letters together to form a specific word. With HTML you put some codes together, to for example form the object, text, colors etc…

  2. HTML is used for programing/coding webpages. HTML describes the structure of a Web page. HTML consists of a series of elements. HTML elements tell the browser how to display the content.

  3. We are learning HTML because it is ‘basic’ coding language that we have to use for building simple websites that are able to interact with Blockchain.

  4. A tag is a communication tool to communicate a certain action to the browser.

  5. HTML, Head and Body.

  6. Attributes is adding something extra to your coding that you dont want to appear on the actual content. for example if you want to make a word look bigger than the one prior or next to it.

  7. Doctype, head elements and body elements.

  1. HyperText Markup Language is used to transfer data in the form of “text” (without extra styling/logic in it). Initially it was designed for sharing documents and there the content is important, not the styling.

  2. It’s used to “tell” the client (usually the browser) what content and structure particular webpage has.

  3. Because JavaScript is mostly used on the Front-End where it does it’s “magic” by manipulating the HTML and therefore we need to know HTML in order to use JS.

  4. It’s a segment of text placed in brackets that mark the beginning or ending of an element.

  5. <tag atribute1=“attribute value” atribute2=“av”…>content of the element (there could be other elements, surrounded by opening and closing tag in the content).

  6. It’s an addition to the tag providing some metadata (extra information about how the tag should be treated by the client).

  7. It’s a text document build entirely of tags forming tree-like structure. It should always be wrapped in tags. There are head and body parts - in the head part we keep the metadata and in the body there is the actual content to be visualized. Elements should NOT get split like this for example: because this would break the tree and might lead to faulty behavior. One element should have both his opening and closing tags inside the other or have both outside.

  1. I dont know how to say it in technical terms but are simbols that are in the begining and at the end of the of the content, they are there to mark where things end and where things start.

  2. A tag is composed by a simbol called angle bracket, the name of the tag and a closing angle bracket for example : that would be a opening tag, and a closing tag looks like this : .

  3. An attribute its a trick that allows the editor to hide some extra information inside a word or a phrase or a paragraph.

  4. An HTML document is composed by text and images, a title, a capsule that encloses all this text and images, but there’s way more than that.

  1. HTML stands for hypertext markup language. Means, it is a way to structure text in order to make it become more readable on the web. It is not a programming language.

  2. It is used for structuring text on websites. For example, with HTML you can create lists, highlight words in bold, italic and so on, define paragraph headings (h1, h2,…), links, insert images,…

  3. we need it for designing the skeleton of our frontend page that will be used for accessing/handling with our dapps for example.

  4. an HTML tag contains HTML elements and sometimes also attributes. With a HTML opening and closing tag you define where the specific markup element begins and where it ends.

  5. structure of an HTML tag: As an example, here we have an h1 element beginning with <h1"> (the " is only for not making it appear here formatted as h1) and ending with </h1"> (also here, I’ve made it invalid adding a “). If we put a text between both tags it will show like this: <h1”>text to be shown as h1 on the page

  6. an attribute is additional information we can use within our HTML tags. It won’t show up as content on the page we’re creating but is used for example for styling purposes, or for communicating extra information to search engines, such as rel=“nofollow” attributes for links within “a” elements.

  7. the anatomy of an HTML document in order to make it work is like that:
    definition of the doctype:
    the html opening and closing tag
    wrapping into it:
    the element (always using opening and closing tags). The head contains information we do not want to show up on the page, such as information for crawlers if the page should be indexed on search engines or not, …
    the element with opening and closing tags. In the body will be found our site’s visible content.

Hyper Text Marketing Language is used to make a normal webpage. It is used to convert words into paragraphs (spacing and such). Through using HTML one can also input pictures or embed different types of media onto a front end website. We are learning this first because it is the easiest way to start making a website. Once HTML is understood then Java should come a bit easier. An html tag can change how something looks. It can make the words/letters bold, italics etc. Also, it can take a user to another website if a link is embedded into it.
The structure of an HTML tag usually starts with so if starting with a paragraph it would look something like this…

This will be the start of the first paragraph of the story on how Bitcoin was created

An attribute contains extra information about the element that you don't want to appear in the actual content. I wrote a music webpage on angelfire . com years ago.. 15?.. I am a bit familiar with HTML but looking forward to learning more and more. I used many lines of code that I probably could not explain at that time but from googling and reading I learned how to implement certain things. I'm excited to learn and be able to explain all of these different things and take programming to another level in my life as a full time career. The anatomy of an HTML document is like the meat and potatoes of the doc. As I stated earlier it starts with and ends with These are the things I was referring to.. Knowing how to use some of the tools but not knowing how to explain them. Really looking forward to learning more from Ivan in this course!! @cryptoquandary on twitter if you see an @ from CryptoQuandary that is me!

1.and 2.:Hypertext Markup Language - it is a language used to create (structure) websites. On the other hand, it is not considered as a programming language.

3.Because to create a good front end GUI, it is inevitable to know web design.

4.An HTML tag is “defining” the HTML element. It consists the attributes.

5.<> and </> for the opening tag. It can be a paragraph, but also can consist attributes (unique or non-unique, etc.). All elements have an (or more) opening tag(s) and closing tag(s).

6.An attribute is helping to form the content of the element. So e.g. you can define several elements with the same attribute(s) and after it is enough to target that attribute to make changes in all elements consisting that specific attribute.

  1. Angle brackets are not working for me in the forum most of the cases :frowning:
    !DOCTYPE html
    html
    head
    meta charset=“utf-8”
    title></title
    /head
