HTML Reading Assignment

  1. HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is a markup language that defines the structure of content on your web page. It consists of a series of elements, which you use to enclose, or wrap, different parts of the content to make it appear a certain way, or act a certain way.

  2. HTML is used to structure a web page and its content.

  3. A good knowledge of HTML makes it easier to develop platform independent apps as well as create custom webpages to better distinguish our efforts.

  4. In HTML code tags are code that is used to denote the bounding of an element and any attributes that apply to an element.

  5. All HTML tags are encapsulated by two angle brackets < > and come in two types, opening and closing tags.

  • Opening tags start with the < bracket, then specify the type of tag followed by any applicable attributes for the tag and the values for those attributes and close the tag with a > bracket.
  • Closing tags start with a < bracket followed by a solidus aka forward slash /, then the type of tag is specified and is followed by a > bracket.
  1. Attributes are used to alter the behaviour of an element or provide metadata.

  2. A HTML document generally consists of a minimum 1 tag and 5 elements.

  • <!DOCTYPE html> — doctype tag. It is a required preamble.
  • <html></html> — the html root element.
  • <head></head> — the head element.
  • <meta charset="utf-8"> — This element sets the character set your document should use, in this case it’s set to UTF-8.
  • <title></title> — the title element.
  • <body></body> — the body element.

  1. HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language and is a language
  2. It is used to define the structure of the content of websites.
  3. For using HTML (together with css and js, react) as the frontend of the dapp that we’re creating (smart contracts are the backend)
  4. HTML tags are the pieces by which HTML is structured: In between of each open-closing-tag-pair there can be multiple different tag pairs again. Everything consists of these tag-pairs in HTML.
  5. there are html-opening tags
<p>

and html-closing tags

</p>

in between opening and closing tag there can be other elements or plain text.
6. attributes can be found inside of the opening tag and contain extra information anout the element it represents. For example an anchor (link) element can contain the url here:

<a href="https://google.com">Link to Google</a>
  1. the anatomy of every HTML document is like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html> 
<head>

In here goes some metadata like title of website (that one that's displayed in the tab of the browser) charset, language or links to external files:
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Awesome website</title>

</head>
<body>

<div>
<h1>HTML Body</h1>
<p>In here is the actual structure of the HTML site</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

  2. HTML is used as a language and structure to communicate information/data on the internet. HTML manages the style of production of computer language communication information.
  3. We are learning HTML so that we can understand and work with ease the basic language of smart contracts on blockchain.
  4. Tags can make a word or image hyperlink to some where else in the HTML, increase and / or decrease font to get the affect desired in the communication. Opening tags (closing tags) consists of the name of the element §. In the article, there is a warning to not forget to add closing tags as it will mess up the web communication.

Please use the preformatted text option while pasting your code. That will make sure your code is visible in the proper syntax.

Hope this helps.

1-) Hypertext markup language which is used for structuring the information displayed on your website

2-) build websites and give them structure

3-) HTML is needed to create the frontend with a website which will interact with the smart contract in the backend

4-) A HTML tags format the content of a website and starts with a opening tag includes some content and ends with a closing tag

5-) The opening tag is same as the closing tag but the closing tag additionally has a forward slash resulting defining the beginning and the end of a paragraph if the tag is p.

6-) Attributes add additional information or specifications to HTML elements. They are added to the starting tag and contain information that will not appear on the website

7-) An HTML page always starts with the as required preamble. The tag which wraps the information of the entire page followed by the element which is a container for things you want to include on your page but not show to the website viewers. A good example for that is keywords who help to make sure that the right audience will find your website. The sets the character set of the document and includes most used characters of all written languages. The obviously sets the title of your page. The element contains the information you want to show to visitors of your website.

I worked on the first web exercise using Atom and must be doing something wrong trying to type

etc. The increasing sequence does not get smaller when I do it on my computer. The font stays the same every time I try. It looked so easy when Ivan showed us how to do it. Any suggestions?

I ordered the book today. Glad to know that you think the book is excellent. I look forward to the reading. I will have to read the download until the book gets here.

1/2. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language, it is the code web pages and its content is build upon.

  2. HTML tags we use to wrap or enclosure the content we want to behave or appear in a specific way

  3. We have an opening tag, then we have a closing tag with a forward slash preceding the name of the opening tag.

  4. HTML elements can have attributes that won’t appear in the actual content, that can provide additional information about an element.

  5. We have the opening HTML Tag, inside that we find the opening and closing head tag, then the opening and closing body tag and finally the closing HTML tag

  1. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)

  2. The code that is used to structure a web page and its content

  3. Because every web page you see on the Internet is written using HTML code, its a beginning of learling programming and understanding coding better

  4. Tags are wrapped around content to change how they appear on a web site. They must have a opening tag and a closing tag

  5. The structure of a simple HTML tag has a opening that must contain a opening element and a closing element.

This text is contained inside html paragraph tags, the tags format the text into a paragraph

The tags and it’s content are called a Element

  1. Attribute provides extra information for the element

  2. Anatomy of an HTML document is the basic form of the HTML that it needs to cointain to display the needed things in web browser. It’s type(so the browser knows what its dealing with), html tags(so the browser knows where to expect that type), head and body.(So the browser knows the specific elements and context that html file contains for display.)

1. What is HTML?
HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is a type of code that allows you to build a web page.

2. What is HTML used for?
It is used to structure your web page and its content. For example, it can let you make content on the page appear or act in a certain way.

3. Why are we learning HTML?
If we want to build our own blockchain, we should also know how to build a fully functional website to go along with it. That way, we don’t have to rely on begging others to help us make a website.

4. What is an HTML tag?
An HTML tag is like a plastic bag that encloses the “content” (i.e. a sentence, or some words) and tells us what properties the content has / what the content will do.

5. What is the structure of an HTML tag?
There is an opening tag: < some letter > and a closing tag: < / the same letter as in the opening tag >. The opening tag goes first and the closing tag goes last. In between the two you put the content, which could be a sentence. The entire thing (opening tag, content, closing tag) is referred to as the element.

6. What is an attribute?
An attribute is something that is contained in the opening tag. You use it when you want to add extra information about the content but you don’t want that information to appear in the actual content. Some uses for attributes are:

  • Adding an identifier to elements on the page
  • Displaying an image on the page and including the alternate text to be displayed if the image doesn't show up properly
  • Linking text to another website

7. What is the anatomy of an HTML document?

  1. !DOCTYPE html - needed to make sure your document behaves correctly
  2. html tag - determines the start and end of your page so everything you write must be inside this tag
  3. head tag - for adding stuff that doesn’t actually appear in the web page itself (search description, title, etc)
  4. meta charset=“utf-8” - sets the character set of your document to UTF-8 characters, which includes English letters I assume
  5. title tag - sets the title of your page, which appears in the browser tab and bookmark name
  6. body tag - contains all the content you want to show visitors when they come to your page (text, images, videos, audio, etc)
