HTML Reading Assignment

  1. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the programming language used to structure a web page and its content.

  2. HTML specifies how webpage material is structured. HTML is made up of components that you may employ to enclose or wrap certain portions of the material to make it seem or function a specific manner.

  3. I believe that HTML serves as a prerequisite for us to be able to not only program with JS and other programming languages, but to develop a strong foundation in the world of programming. Learning HTML is like dipping our toes in the swimming pool!

  4. The surrounding tags can be used to make a word or picture hyperlink to another location, italicise words, change the font size, and so on.

  5. There are two types of tags:

  • Opening tags: This is made up of the element’s name (for example, p) surrounded by opening and closing angle brackets. This specifies the point at which the element begins to take effect — in this example, the beginning of the paragraph.

  • Closing tags: This is the same as the opening tag, but the element name is preceded by a forward slash. This specifies the point at which the element comes to an end.

  1. This is any extra bit of info that we don’t want to display in the main content of our element. Attributes have a name and a value. The attribute value is not unique; anything in the content with the same attribute value, will share the same features as stated in the attribute name.

  2. The opening and closing tags (refer to point 5); the content (actual information we want to display on our webpage) and the element (everything pieced together).

1.) HTML is a code that makes up the contents of the page.
2.) HTML is used to show the structure of the content
3.) We are learning to understand the basics of how the blockchain interacts with the web
4.) A tag is used to create an element
5.) Opening tag, content, closing tag
6.) An attribute is extra info about the element you don’t want to appear in the content
7.) , , , ,

  1. HTML stands for Hypertext markup language

  2. It’s used for directing traffic on the internet was my first newb guess… after reading a bit, i’d say it’s used for “marking up”, i.e. basically formatting, a webpage’s content.

  3. HTML is useful for building a super simple website (which we may find useful in frontend development, plus it’s good practice for coding in general.

  4. An HTML tag is basically a formatting instruction, e…g

    text

    is text set off in a paragraph…oh snap, it’s doing it by itself! you can’t see the HTML i just put in there! it was < p > basically these < / p > set off tags with “this” in the middle and no spaces.

  5. HTML tags are structured such that they enclose the content to be formatted, except for some that represent their own content, i.e. < img content.img >; other than that their structure demands open/close angle brackets, as practiced here.

  6. An attribute can refine an element, so e.g. like a note that brings certain formatting characteristics to the content (i.e. if the content is to be formatted like all your other “citations” or “in-character point”, or etc, then you could assign that “class” attribute within the other tags like < p > class = “[citations/character/etc]” < / p >)… i don’t know what other attributes there are, but i imagine they’re specific to certain elements.

  7. an HTML document is organized essentially as a bunch of nested elements, e.g. paragraph elements within a body element within the html element.
