Hi @Nev,

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you on this.

Your answers are mostly OK :ok_hand:

Just a few comments…

Yes… this is the <html> tag. More generally, an HTML tag is part of an HTML element. Most elements have an opening tag and a closing tag , which enclose (wrap around) a specific piece of content.

You may have had a formatting error here. Take a look at this post which describes how to format the code you are posting here in the forum.

HTML tag structure:
<elementName>The content</elementName>

Take a look at this post for a more specific approach this question.

Yes… and more specifically it is used to structure a web page’s content by marking it up with different elements , which define how the different parts of the content should be displayed and/or how they should behave.

Hi @Misterpow,
… and welcome to the course!

I think we need a bit more detail with some of these answers :wink:

…more specifically, HTML is a markup language. It is used to structure a web page’s content by marking it up with different elements , which define how the different parts of the content should be displayed and/or how they should behave.

Basically, yes…
…in addition, the element name goes between the angle brackets.

The link or image itself is the whole element. The attributes, here, provide the web address or file path. More generally, attributes add additional information about an element, and they can also serve as an additional marker, which can then be used to target the content with specific styles in CSS.

Take a look at this post for a more detailed approach to this question.

Keep on learning! :slightly_smiling_face:

Basically, yes… but most HTML tags don’t have to contain attributes — they are usually optional.

  1. What is HTML?

HTML is not a programming language, but a markup language. It basically tells a web browser what to show on a website and how to show it, with basic functionality.

  1. What is HTML used for?

It defines the structure of content (mainly in websites), for example the size of font for some text or telling a browser to display a certain image in a certain spot.

  1. Why are we learning HTML?

  • To be able to program simple websites and front-ends

  • To prepare for JavaScript and Solidity

  1. What is an HTML tag?

An HTML tag defines how a certain piece of content is displayed. It signals the browser “show this specific piece of content in this specific way.”

  1. What is the structure of an HTML tag?

Most HTML tags consist of a starting and a closing tag, that “wrap around” (are placed before and after) the content that they influence. Inside these tags can be additional information about how to handle and display the content.

  1. What is an attribute?

A piece of code that specifies an HTML tag further. One could say the HTML tag tells the browser the general action that it’s supposed to to, while an attribute tells the browser more details (which are often essential) about the action.

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language

HTML is simple code used to build the structure of a website.

It’s important to learn HTML to know the basics and most simplistic form of coding for a website, where we will be able to create a simple user interface for our blockchain smart contracts to interact with.

An HTML tag is text that is enclosed in angle brackets at the beginning and the end of an element.

Opening Tag -> Content -> Closing Tag
All of the above are included as an Element

An attribute is extra information for the element that you don’t want included in the content.

1- The DOCTYPE, and then opening tags.
2- the “root element” (<html>) ,
3- the Head element, which provides information not meant for the viewers
4- <meta charset= ___ > which sets the character set of the content
5- the <title> element which sets the text for the top of the browser page/tab.
6- the <body> element which contains all the content meant for the users to see, including images, links, text, etc.
7- then all the closing tags.

1.What is HTML?
Answer: Hypertext markup language - is the code that is used to structure a web page and its content.
2.What is HTML used for?
Answer: it is a markup language that defines the structure of content of web pages.
HTML consists of a series of elements, which you use to enclose, or wrap, different parts of the content to make it appear a certain way, or act a certain way. The enclosing tags can make a word or image hyperlink to somewhere else, can italicize words, can make the font bigger or smaller, and so on.
3.Why are we learning HTML?
Answer: For our purposes HTML will be used to create a user interface for a system we wish to have accessible on the web
4.What is an HTML tag?
Answer: Tags define boundaries for an element on a web page. Elements can be nested.
5.What is the structure of an HTML tag?
Answer: Opening tag , content (for instance text or image), closing tag
6.What is an attribute?
Answer: Attributes have extra information about the content of the element
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?
Answer:

— the doctype. It is 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. — the element. This element wraps all the content on the entire page and is sometimes known as the root element. — the 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. — 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. — the 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. — the 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.
