HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the code that is used to structure a web page and its content.
Is used to structure a web page and its content.
To be able to build a website to interact with the blockchain/ smart contract (which we’ll create in future) «to brag about our new knowledge».
HTML tag is defined as a set of characters forming a «command» for a Web page. HTML tag provides the directions for the visual content on the Web.
An HTML tag consists of the tag name in angular brackets and may come in pair, which makes up the beginning and ending tag that frame a particular piece of code, text or other tags. The beginning tag consists of the name, optionally followed by one or more attributes, whereas the ending tag consists of the same name preceded by a forward slash ("/").

3. Why are we learning HTML?

We are learning HTML as it is a good entry into programming. It’s good to learn the structure of the web for which we will be interacting with in future programming projects.

4. What is an HTML tag?

An HTML tag defines a specific element within the page structure, such as header, paragraph, URL, Strong, Italics, etc…

5. What is the structure of an HTML tag?

An HTML Tag has structure has an opening an closing brackets to it, with the content between, such as:

An Attribute provides extra information about an element, such as assigning a class or ID name that can be used later. For example declaring a class name that will later be called upon to assign styling via CSS.

7. What is the anatomy of an HTML document? (note: had to put spaces before and after the brackets or it wouldn’t display the text, since this editor allows direct entry of html)

< !DOCTYPE html > - currently this basically declares this is an html document
< html > - open tag for the html document, often called the root tag. All html goes within these tags
< head > _The header tags contain the information about the site that is not shown in the content, such as _
keywords, metadata, declare external CSS files
< meta charset=“utf-8” > - _defines the character set. utf-8 basically allows the document to handle, most written languages

HTML is a Hyper text markup language.
Is used to structure web page, and arrange elements on the web page.
To understand how to write our own web pages(front end), that will interact with user and our blockchain solutions(back end)
Tag is a basic building block of HTML, which wraps content and gives browser information on how to represent this content
Openeing tag->Attributes->Content(can be nested tags)->closing tag
Attributes represent additional info about tag and how to represent content on the web page.
7.Web page consists of elements(opened and closed tags) which are nested in each other. <!Doctype html> for backward compatibility , main tag which wraps a hole page and represents page as a top level element, nested inside and contains all prerequisite info that will be used to properly structure web page(css styles, js scripts, page description and keywords), body content will be displayed on the web page.

HTML stands for “Hypertext Markup Language”.
It defines the structure of your website content.
To be able to create an web UI for our smart contracts
Tags mark and separate or enclose specific content like text, images, links etc.
Name of the element wrapped in opening and closing angle brackets for the opening tag and for the closing tag a forward slash before the element name.
Attributes contain extra information about the element that you don’t want to appear in the actual content The attribute allows you to give the element an identifier that can be later used to target the element with style information and other things.

"
— the doctype: just a historical artefact that needs to be included for everything to work right.
— the html element: This element wraps all the content on the entire page, and is sometimes known as the root
element.
— 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.
— 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.
— the meta charset=“utf-8” element: this element sets the character set your document should use to UTF-8, which includes most characters from the vast majority of human 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.
— 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.

1. What is HTML?

HTML is a standardized markup language that was agreed upon that is based upon XML (Extensible Markup Language). On the browser side I used to write variables like this:

<#page_header>

Which would be picked up by my TWebObject and replace anything found in the brackets with the contents of the variable. So what is happening is that your web browser is doing a search and replace using all those tags. I first started writing HTML in windows notepad in 1995.

2. What is HTML used for?

HTML is used for marking up text, images and other user inputs as a front end to display to users on the web. It does formatting and placement primarily so that users don’t have a confusing or dull interface. Some elements provide for user inputs that then get handed off to the logic back end sometimes on the server side, but occasionally on the client side.

3. Why are we learning HTML?

We need HTML in order to handle user inputs and to format text and other variables correctly for the logic of the blockchain.

4. What is an HTML tag?

Tags surround text with angle brackets that have a variable that is interpreted as a command/procedure/function in the web browser.

5. What is the structure of an HTML tag?

Tags have an opening tag and a closing tag with content in between that is acted upon by the browser by setting it’s position, size, etc. One should always make sure that tags are properly nested and do not overlap.

6. What is an attribute?

In XML an attribute would typically be a parameter to a function on the browser side such as:

<a href=“http://www.mywebsite.com”> insert text here </a>

The attribute would be “href” in this case. After the initial marker any attributes should have at least one space after it.

7. What is the anatomy of an HTML document?

A series of tags that goes like this…

There are other optional tags such as doc type. The header tag is where I place my links to CSS or Javascript files. (I prefer not to write the actual logic there) The head tag will have a title tag, keywords and other optional tags.

The body tag is where you write most of the content displayed to the user.

HTML is a language allowing you to structure content on the web
HTML is used for structuring websites
HTML allows us to build the front end and allow users to use our back end service (smart contracts)
An HTML tag is a characteristic of the language allowing us to structure element, per example opening and closing a pragraph element
A paragraph tag would look like this

The content needs to be placed within the tags
An attribute may help us to qualify a content, his point is to attribute properties to our element
It starts with the <doctype! >, then we have to open the tag, then the other tags such as or it also requires a character type designation : UTF-8, don’t forget to close the tags at the end !
