  1. Reading Assignment: HTML
    HTML & Web
    If you are stuck, have tried your best to get unstuck and still can’t figure it out, please post here (I am completely stuck).

Before we get our hands dirty and actually start coding we would like to tell you that if you have any questions at all use the forum (forum.ivanontech.com)!
Here is the specific thread for this section:
HTML Basics Dicsussion

So what is the task?

Read this article (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Getting_started_with_the_web/HTML_basics). While reading, try to answer the following questions.

What is HTML?
HTML is a markup language
What is HTML used for?
is the code that is used to structure a web page and its content.
Why are we learning HTML?
To design a web pages

What is an HTML tag?
The enclosing tags can make a word or image hyperlink to somewhere else, can italicize words, can make the font bigger or smaller, and so on.

What is the structure of an HTML tag?
For example, take the following line of content:

My cat is very grumpy
If we wanted the line to stand by itself, we could specify that it is a paragraph by enclosing it in paragraph tags:

My cat is very grumpy

What is an attribute? Attributes contain extra information about the element that you don't want to appear in the actual content. What is the anatomy of an HTML document? The main parts of our element are as follows:

The opening tag: This consists of the name of the element (in this case, p), wrapped in opening and closing angle brackets. This states where the element begins or starts to take effect — in this case where the paragraph begins.
The closing tag: This is the same as the opening tag, except that it includes a forward slash before the element name. This states where the element ends — in this case where the paragraph ends. Failing to add a closing tag is one of the standard beginner errors and can lead to strange results.
The content: This is the content of the element, which in this case, is just text.
The element: The opening tag, the closing tag, and the content together comprise the element.

  1. HTML = HyperText Markup Language, its a code
  2. Its used to structure a web page and its content
  3. We are learning it so we could make a simple web page so it can later interact with the blockchain
  4. Because it is a markup language that defines the structures of the content of web page. It consists of series of elements which are used to enclose/wrap ( hyperlink, italicize words, make font bigger/smaller )
  5. The opening tag, the closing tag, and the content ( example of paragraph text

    content

    )
  6. Attribute is extra information about the element that you don’t want to appear in the actual content.
  7. Basic anatomy consists of:
  • <html> </html> = element wraps all the content on the entire page ( root element )
  • <head> </head> = acts as a container for all the stuff you want to include on a page that isn’t actual content that you are showing
  • <meta charset="utf-8">= handles any textual content you might put on
  • <title></title> = sets the title of your page, title you see when the page is loaded or bookmarked
  • <body> </body>= contains all the content that you want to show to web users when they visit your page, no matter what it is ( videos, audios, games, images, etc. )

  1. Standard markup language used for creating web pages (Hypertext Markup Language)
  2. Used to structure a web page and its content
  3. To get a better understanding of code, learning HTML will help in developing skills in other languages like Javascript and Solidity
  4. Defines the content within the website
  5. opening tag <p.> content

    closing tag
  6. Contain extra info about the element which you don’t want appearing in the content

HTML

HTML is Hyper Text Markup Language.

HTML is used to format a webpage and its content.

We are learning HTML because it provides a good foundation for understanding Java Script. I think we are also studying this because later in the course we will be building a website that will interact with smart contracts and the blockchain.

HTML tag: the hidden keywords within a web page that define how your web browser must format and display the content.
Example of HTML tag:

Structure of an HTML tag: tags have two parts and opening and a closing.
For example, if I were to put some words in a paragraph it would look like this:
<p>Some words in a paragraph</p>
Inside of the opening and closing tag is the Content
The Element contains the opening tag, the Content and the closing tag.

Attributes allow you to customize a tag and are defined within the opening tag

Anatomy of HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>My test page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <img src="images/firefox-icon.png" alt="My test image">
  </body>
</html>

You wont face this problem if you use the below approach.

You can use the “Preformatted Text” Button to encapsulate any kind of code you want to show.

function formatText(){

let words = “I’m a preformatted Text box, Please use me wisely!”

}

  4. An HTML tags are used to contain the content and element of which we wish to show
  5. for example

    sandro is super cool

    . So we opened the tag, described our content, and closed the tag.
  6. An attribute contains extra information about the element that you don’t want it to appear in the actual content. An attribute should always have:
  • a space between them and element name
  • an attribute name followed by =
  • the attribute value wrapped by ‘’ and ‘’
  1. It looks as below:
  • we need a <!DOCTYPE html> , however these days, they don’t do much and are
    basically just needed to make sure your document behaves correctly.
  • HTML tags This element wraps all the content on the entire page and is sometimes known as the root element.
  • head element: This element acts as a container for all the stuff you want to include on the HTML page that isn’t the content you are showing to your page’s viewers.
  • the title element. `This sets the title of your page, which is the title that appears in the browser tab the page is loaded in. It is also used to describe the page when you bookmark/favourite it.
  • the body element. This contains all the content that you want to show to web users when they visit your page, whether that’s text, images, videos, games, playable audio tracks, or whatever else.

  2. What is HTML used for?
    It is used to structure the web page and all of its content.

  3. Why are we learning HTML?
    We learn HTML in order to be able to build the webpages at the front-end, which will be linked to the smart contracts in the back-end. HTML is also a pretty simple language to start understanding programming for beginners.

  4. What is an HTML tag?
    The HTML tag is a part of HTML element stating where the element begins and where it ends.

  5. What is the structure of an HTML tag?
    The tag, for example <p>, consists of brackets and the tag name. Usually, there is an opening (<p>) and closing (</p>) tags wrapping the content of the element. There are also self-closing tags, like <br>, which stand alone and do not require content inside.

  6. What is an attribute?
    An attribute is the part of the element that contains the info about this element, that is not intended to be displayed in the content.

  7. What is the anatomy of an HTML document?

<!DOCTYPE html>

</head>
<body>
<h2>Web-page 1.</h2>
<p>Content</p>
<img src="https://www.website.com" alt="web-page alt text.">
</body>
<html>

This is the basic HTML document structure. The <!DOCTYPE html> tag is a required preamble, the <html> tags wrap all the content, the <head> contains everything not intended to appear on the web-page, including <title>- the browser tab name of the page. The <body> contains the page content, including <h1> - <h6> headers, <p> paragraphs, <li> lists(ordered <ol> and unordered <ul>), tables <table>, images <img src="...."> and links <a href="...">.

  1. HTML is an acronym for Hypertext Markup Language.

  2. HTML is a code for structuring a website and its content.

  3. I am learning HTML so that I can structure a website and its content to interface with a front-end user and a back-end smart contract on the blockchain.

  4. The HTML tags are parts of an element, which are used to enclose different parts of the content to make it appear or act in a certain way. For example, by enclosing content within a set of tags you can change the text font of the content or make an image or text hyperlink somewhere else.

  5. An opening tag consists of the name of the element wrapped in angle brackets and states where the element, a paragraph, begins. A closing tag also includes a forward slash before the element name, which indicates where the paragraph ends.

  6. Attributes are extra information that you don’t want displayed in the website content. They are found within one of the tags and follow the element name and are separated from it or previous attributes by a space. They are composed of an attribute name, an equal sign and an attribute value wrapped within quotation marks.

  7. An HTML document contains elements, root, head, meta charset, title and body suitably arranged with opening and closing tags.
