What is HTML?

HTML abbreviation stands for Hypertext Markup Language.

What is HTML used for?

HTML is used for creating the primary structure of a web page(’‘skeleton’’): headings, paragraphs, tables, lists, links, images, video and audio, forms, and more.

Why are we learning HTML?

HTML is important to learn and understand, as actual programming languages (eg JavaScript) are working on modifying HTML elements. Without HTML, there is no ability to use JavaScript or any other programming language. We think of HTML as a skeleton and Javascript as muscles of the web page.

What is an HTML tag?

An HTML tag is a specific keyword, defining how the structure of the page will be displayed in a browser.

What is the structure of an HTML tag?

Every HTML tag always starts and ends with < > brackets. Inside the brackets, there is always the tag name. Most of the time there is an opening and closing tag. The difference between them is that the closing tag has a slash before the tag name :
<p>content</p>
Some tags are self-closing:
</br>
Some tags do not have a closing tag, because there is no text content to be wrapped:

<img src="">

What is an attribute?

An attribute is the structural element of the tag, that contains extra and more specific information about the element, formed by a tag. For instance src from the previous example is an attribute that defines the source(or the path) of the image.

What is the anatomy of an HTML document?

<!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>

Every HTML doc by tradition starts with declaring the HTML type of it. Then according to the nesting principle there go the basic tags that every HTML document must contain: <html></html> wraps the whole document. <meta> tag is used to define the number of symbols operated by this particular HTML doc. <head></head> is used to define the hidden content that won’t be displayed on the page and also the title of the web page, wrapped with <title></title> tags. <body></body> wraps the main content of the page.

  • HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
  • HTML is used for structuring a web page and its content
  • We are learning HTML here because it is relatively easy to learn compared to other languages that are more specific to blockchain coding, and is often integrated with them when building programs based on blockchain
  • HTML is expressed through elements; a tag is used to enclose an element; tags help to structure the language, as elements are created to build the page
  • The structure of an HTML tag consists of the opening tag (element name, or type, wrapped in opening and closing angle brackets, and the closing tag (same as opening, but with a forward slash in between the opening angle bracket and the element name); the content is placed in between the opening and closing tags; the element consists of the opening tag, content, and closing tag
  • An attribute is an added description of the element that is placed in the opening tag to avoid it showing up as part of the content; it should be written with a space between it and the element name (or previous attribute if there are multiple attributes), it should consist of a name, an equal sign, and a value wrapped by opening and closing quotation marks
  • The anatomy of an HTML document looks as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Hello</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    Hello
  </body>
</html>

The above is the basic anatomy of an HTML page. The “DOCTYPE” element defines it as HTML and allows it to behave correctly, the “html” element wraps the content of the entire page, the “head” element allows a place for all aspect of the page that describes it without showing up as content in the page (like keywords, page descriptions showing up in search engines, and CSS for styling), the “meta” element is almost always given a default attribute (charset=“utf-8”) to set the ability to write text in almost all written language characters, the title element is the description that appears in the tab/bookmarks/favorites, and the “body” element is where we write the content that appears on the page.

  1. What is HTML?
    Hypertext mark up language.

  2. What is HTML used for?
    Structure the content of websites.

  3. Why are we learning HTML?
    We are learning HTML as it is the most basic and foundational coding languages that helps us structure content.

  4. What is an HTML tag?
    A HTML tag is used for creating an element.
    The name of an HTML element is the name used in angle brackets such as <p> for paragraph. Note that the end tag’s name is preceded by a slash character, </p> .

  5. What is the structure of an HTML tag?
    Open and closed angle brackets with an element in between. A closing tag is normally required unless it is an empty element and the closing tag always has a forward slash.

  6. What is an attribute?
    Attributes contain extra information about the element that you don’t want to appear in the actual content.

  7. What is the anatomy of an HTML document?

  • <!DOCTYPE html> — doctype. It is a required preamble. In the mists of time, when HTML was young (around 1991/92), doctypes were meant to act as links to a set of rules that the HTML page had to follow to be considered good HTML, which could mean automatic error checking and other useful things. However these days, they don’t do much and are basically just needed to make sure your document behaves correctly. That’s all you need to know for now.
  • <html></html> — the <html> element. This element wraps all the content on the entire page and is sometimes known as the root element.
  • <head></head> — the <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. This includes things like keywords and a page description that you want to appear in search results, CSS to style our content, character set declarations, and more.
  • <meta charset="utf-8"> — This element sets the character set your document should use to UTF-8 which includes most characters from the vast majority of 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.
  • <title></title> — 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/favorite it.
  • <body></body> — 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.
