Still not getting much anatomy coming through :wink:
Is it a copy and paste, formatting issue?

In case you didn’t know, before you type in your code to post it here in the forum, click on the </> icon in the menu at the top of the text editor. You will see 2 sets of 3 back ticks.
```
```
If you now input your code between these, you will end up with nicely formatted code, which is then also easier for you to organise with the correct spacing and indentation etc.
You should end up with something like:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    
   <head>   
      <meta charset="utf-8">  
      <title>Text appearing in browser tab or when page bookmarked</title>
   </head>
  
   <body>

   </body>

</html>

Q1 and Q2: HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language and is used to structure the content and text of a webpage.

Q3: To build up or knowledge and work our way up from the basics if we cant script a simple static website learning how to program games on ETH will be much harder.

Q4 & Q5: From what I gather a tag is used to name an element. In this example the opening tag contained the letter p meaning a paragraph and the closing tag also contained the letter p but since it is the closing tag it must first be followed by a forward slash to tell the computer it is the end of that element.

Q6: Attributes are extra info about the element that you dont want to show on the front end.

Q7: The anatomy of a HTML doc contains 6 different elements I should say. 1st is the doctype which when HTML was young was used as a ruleset to make sure the code was structured properly but now it is just needed as a starting point. 2nd is the root or HTML element and is used to wrap all the content on the entire page. 3rd is the head element and is used as a container for everything on the page that you do not want viewers to see. 4th is the meta chartset =“utf-8” element which I believe is used to allow the computer to understand most programming languages making it more universal throughout. 5th is the title element which just sets the title you see in the search bar and when you bookmark a site. The 6th and final element is the body which contains all the content that you do want viewers to see AKA the front end I believe.

Hi @Wevlin!

Some good answers :ok_hand:
We just need to add some more detail for Q5 & Q7 :

5. What is the structure of an HTML tag?
We need something that shows, or describes, this:

<elementName>The content</elementName>

7. What is the anatomy of an HTML document?

We need something like this (but don’t worry, we wouldn’t expect you to include the same amount of detail):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>     <!-- root element: encloses all of the content -->
  <head>   <!-- encloses everything that is not content displayed
                directly on the web page -->
    <meta charset="utf-8">   <!-- allows text containing most characters
                                  from most languages to be displayed -->
    <title>Text appearing in browser tab or when page bookmarked</title>
  </head>  
  <body>
    <!-- encloses all content displayed directly on the web page
         for users to see and read i.e. text, images, videos etc. -->
  </body>
</html>

Hi @elez!

Nice answers! :ok_hand:

I think you had a formatting problem with Q5, and didn’t mean to just say hello! :wink:

Have a look at this post, which explains how to format and display your code in the forum. For Q5 you should end up with something similar to this:

<elementName>The content</elementName>

  1. HTML, or (HYpertext Markup Language), is the code that is used to structure a page on the web and its content. HTML is not a programming language that many might believe at first sight.

  2. It consists of a number of “elements”, that you use to use in different ways to make your content appear in the way that you want it to.

  3. We are learning HTML so that we have a way of creating front-end code for our applications.

  4. A tag in HTML is used to define content on the web-page specified.

  5. An element is the entire section showed on the webpage. It consists of an opening tag, followed by the content, and then by a closing tag.

  6. Attributes contain extra information and/or instructions about the element that should not be visible on the front-end.

  7. The anatomy of an HTML document, is as following.
    1: Doctype
    2: Element
