  3. We are learning HTML to provide a Front-End structure to interact with a Back-End of a program

  4. A HTML tag is used to instruct the browser of the content & type of content

  5. The structure of a HTML tag consists of an element (using open and close tags) & content (clickable / interactive / viewable information)

  6. An Attribute is extra information that is not displayed as content

  7. The Anatomy of a HTML document consists basically of an Opening & a Closing tag, which instructs the browser what to do with the embedded info. plus the content / info. I.E: (but without spaces)
    < html> - Wraps entire document
    < head> - Things included in page, but Not displayed as content
    < title> - The title of page, appearing in browser
    < body> - All content intended to be viewed in page

Hi @KingArt!
…and welcome to the course!

Your answers are mostly OK :ok_hand:
Q7 is especially good :+1:

Yes…and more specifically, the opening and closing tags enclose (wrap around) a specific piece of content , marking it up to be displayed, or behave, according to the type of element assigned to it.

We need more detail here e.g.
<elementName>The content</elementName>

Hi @Fati!
…and welcome to the course!

Nice answers :ok_hand:

Could you try resubmitting Q7…you seem to have had a problem adding your image. Instead, try adding the actual tags (formatted as code, using the </> icon in the menu of this forum’s text editor).

<head> …but NOT directly displayed as content on the page for users to see and read.

  • What is an HTML tag?
  • What is the structure of an HTML tag?
  • What is an attribute?
  • What is the anatomy of an HTML document?
  1. HTML is not a programming language but instead a markup language. HTML = Hypertext Markup Language.
  2. HTML is used to define the structure of a document by using a series of elements to make content appear a certain way.
  3. We are learning HTML as it allows us to think about things differently, gives us the tools we need to understand what we are seeing when we look at web pages and it provides us with the knowledge base we need in order to develop our own web pages and therefore not be reliant on others as we get deeper into the crypto space - we can contribute directly and independently with new ideas/projects.
  4. Tags are the beginning and ending markers of an element. They encapsulate the content.
  5. The structure of an HTML tag is the element name surrounded by opening and closing angle brackets - the closing tag has a forward slash before the element name to indicate the end of the element. < p >This example should not have spaces, but this content will be sent to a new paragraph if I take them out< /p >

    like this

  6. An attribute is basically extra information that you do not want to show up in the main content. The attribute can often be used to give the element an identifier (e.g. ‘class’ attribute) so that you can reference it later for style information, etc.
  7. Anatomy of an HTML document is the structure in which we use certain elements to define the way the document will be viewed. It always starts with the < !DOCTYPE html > preamble. The html element will start on the next line and will encapsulate the entire document, with the closing html tag at the end of the document. Contained within the html element will be the head element which is where the character set is defined and the title of page would appear, then the body element is used to encapsulate all of the content you wish to display on the page. Within each element, other elements can be used as well but the main elements are html, head, body - the sub level elements that may be used are things like titles, paragraphs ( ‘p’ ), links ( ‘a’ ), nesting elements ( ‘strong’ ), empty elements ( ‘img’ ), etc.

  1. HTML - Hyper text Markup Language is the basic structure of a webpage and its contents.

  2. HTML is used to give structure to the content.

  3. We are learning HTML to learn the basic of web development so as we have a site that can interact with the blockchain. This is what people will see.

  4. A HTML tag is the name of the element and this states when that element starts and ends.

  5. The structure of an opening tag is the open and closing angle brackets with the element for a closing bracket this is the same but and forward slash is also used after the open angle bracket but before the element.

  6. An attribute is a word within the element that states the elements behavour.

  7. The anatomy of an HTML document is :-

ensure that the document acts as expected. the html element is the root element and wraps the whole web page. the head element contains all of the items you want to have on your HTML page but things that are not content. this element sets what character set is to be used on the document. this is the title element for your page. This shows the title that appears in the web browser. the body element shows people who visit your page the content of the page i.e video, text, images ect.

  1. HTML (Hypertext markup language) it’s a markup language for creating a webpage.
    Hypertext: text which contains link to other texts
    Markup: language that is designed for the processing, definition and presentation of text, specifying code for formatting, both the layout and style, within a text file.

  2. It is used to program limited content websites that are to be displayed on the World Wide Web.

  3. As a necessary foundation for web and blockchain development.

  4. A tag tells the browser what type of content it has to show (HTML) and in what way.

  5. Begins with an opening <tag>, continues with the content between those tags, and finishes with a closing </tag>

  6. An attribute specifies additional properties regarding the content included inside a tag.

  7. Always starts with the <html> tag, and it has 2 elements:

  1. <head> element with page title and page formatting commands
  2. <body> element, which contains all the content. All the open tags of these elements need to match with a closing tag respectively.
