  1. HTML H yper t ext M arkup L anguage. it is a markup language that defines the structure of your content. HTML consists of a series of 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 can make a word or image hyperlink to somewhere else, can italicize words, can make the font bigger or smaller, and so on.

  2. The HTML language is used as the basic structure of a web page and its content.

  3. We are starting with HTML as the beginning foundation for building websites, so that we can create applications (" the front end") to interact with our ā€œsmart contractsā€ on the blockchain (ā€œthe back endā€). From here will be adding JS to add interactivity to our websites, and finally leading to Solidity - the language of the ā€œblockchain.ā€

  4. An HTML tag is an HTML code that defines every structure on an HTML page, including the placement of text and images and hypertext links. HTML tags begin with the less-than (<) character and end with greater-than (>). These symbols are also called ā€œangle brackets.ā€

  5. Structure of an HTML tag
    a) The opening tag: This consists of the name of the element (in this case, p), wrapped in opening and closing angle brackets . This states where the element begins or starts to take effect ā€” in this case where the paragraph begins.
    b) The closing tag: This is the same as the opening tag, except that it includ* The lang **Attres a forward slash before the element name. This states where the element ends ā€” in this case where the paragraph ends. Failing to add a closing tag is one of the standard beginner errors and can lead to strange results.

  6. HTML attributes provide additional information about HTML elements.

  • The <a> tag defines a hyperlink. The href attribute specifies the URL of the page the link goes to:

The src Attribute

The <img> tag is used to embed an image in an HTML page. The src attribute specifies the path to the image to be displayed:

The width and height Attributes

The <img> tag should also contain the width and height attributes, which specifies the width and height of the image (in pixels):

The alt Attribute

The required alt attribute for the <img> tag specifies an alternate text for an image, if the image for some reason cannot be displayed. This can be due to slow connection, or an error in the src attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader.

The style Attribute

The style attribute is used to add styles to an element, such as color, font, size, and more.

The lang Attribute

You should always include the lang attribute inside the <html> tag, to declare the language of the Web page. This is meant to assist search engines and browsers.

The title Attribute

The title attribute defines some extra information about an element.
The value of the title attribute will be displayed as a tooltip when you mouse over the element:

  1. The anatomy of an HTML doc.
My test page My test image * `` ā€” 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. * `` ā€” the [ `` ] element. This element wraps all the content on the entire page and is sometimes known as the root element. * `` ā€” 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. * `` ā€” 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. * `` ā€” 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. * `` ā€” 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.

  1. HTML, the abbreviation for Hypertext Markup Language, is the code used to structure a web page and its content and define the structure of the content. It is NOT a programming language, like Javascriptā€“which we are about to learn in this course.

  2. HTML is used for enclosing, or wrapping, different parts of a web pageā€™s content to make it appear or act a certain way.

  3. We are learning HTML so that we can better understand how to create our own websites and later how to program using Javascript.

  4. An HTML tag is a part of an HTML element that both opens and closes the element.

  5. I took this screenshot from the article to demonstrate the structure of an HTML tag:
    Capture

  6. An attribute is a part of an element that contains extra information about the element that you do not want to appear in the actual content.

  7. The anatomy of an HTML document is the following: doctype, html element, head element, character-setting element, title element, and body element.

Thanks!

  • What is the structure of an HTML tag?
    The Opening Tag consists a Greater Than, Less Than symbol enclosing the name of the Element. The Closing Tag is like the Opening Tag, but the name of the element is preceded by a forward slash.

  1. HTML is an abbrevation for Hyper Text Markup Language, and is a markup language used to structure a web page and its content. The language works by structuring content inside different tags.
  2. HTML is used to structure a web page and its content.
  3. The reason we are learning HTML is because it is so fundamental to how web applications work, and we have to be familiar with this because the smart contracts (back end) have to integrate with the front end for a dApp to work. If we only learned the back end programming we would not get a full understanding on how dApps work.
  4. A HTML tag is a piece of characters which we can use to enclose our content to give the web site a specific structure or give the content properties.
  5. The structure of an HTML tag is in the opening tag ā€œā€, and in the closing tag ā€œ<tag</>ā€.
  6. An attribute specifies additional information to an HTML element. It can be used to give elements classes and IDs (which again can be used to link the element to CSS and JS), to place media on the web site and much more.
  7. A HTML document starts with a tag specifying the Doctype. Then we have a head tag, where you can put information and attributes that will not be directly shown as content, and a body tag, where you put information that will be shown as content. You can further structure your web site.

  1. HTML or Hypertext Markup Language is a ā€˜markupā€™ (not a programming) language that defines webpage contentā€™s structure.

  2. HTML is the code (as format) used to structure and build a webpage and its content (text, images, videos, links, etc.). It consists of a series of elements used to enclose different parts of the content to make it appear or act a certain way.

  3. Learning HTML is fundamental in web and blockchain development. It enables us to create the perfect web page we want w/o having to pay someone exorbitant fees for it. Also, having a head start in programming allows us to later build Dapps that can interact with a blockchain or smart contracts.

  4. HTML tags are hidden codes that enclose or wrap, and appear right before (=opening tag) and after (=closing tag) text content of the element (paragraph, nesting, image, heading, list, link) that define how content is formatted, displayed, and seen on the web. The enclosing tags can: make a word or image hyperlink to somewhere else; italicize words; make font bigger or smaller, etc.

  5. The structure of an HTML tag consists of an opening tag before and closing tag after content. Format-wise, the opening tag consists of the name (< name >) while closing tag consists of the same name preceded by a forward slash (< /name >).

  6. Attributes contain extra info about an element not intended to appear in actual content: 1) a space between it and element name; 2) attribute name followed by equal sign; and 3) attribute value wrapped by opening & closing quotation marks.

  7. The anatomy of an HTML document looks like this:

    < html >
     < head > ā€¦ < /head >
     < body > ā€¦ < /body >
< /html >

    where the: 1) Head element acts as a container for all the stuff you want to include on the HTML page that isnā€™t the content you are showing to your pageā€™s viewers: keywords & page description you want to appear in search results, CSS to style content, character set declarations, and more; and 2) Body element contains all the content you want to show to web users when they visit your page: text, images, videos, games, playable audio tracks or whatever else.

It is not a programming language but a markup language mostly used for websites

  1. mostly used for website (text, links, images)

  2. Because HTML is pretty much the basics of everything that is shown on screen when you visit a website. So whatever you program, you will always need a way to show it in orderly fashion to the end user. Markup language is important for that.

  3. It is part of the HTML code which always begins with <> and ends with </>. It can contain different kinds of elements.

  4. <> until </>

  5. Its a part that can contain additional information regarding what is inside the tag. for example within a tag of text

HTML - 'HyperText Markup Language' a language that defines the structure of the content
and how its viewed on the browser

what is HTML used for - displaying the content of the page in a user friendly way.

why are we learning HTML - To understand how the barebones of programming work, while being able to easily
check how our every input changes the layout of the page

An HTML tag - A tag required to open and close when implementing content

What is the structure of an HTML tag - A combination of the name of the element you're implimenting
and outer angle brackets that surrounds it.

an Attribute - extra information about the element that the programmer doesn't want to appear with the
actual content.

The anatomy of an HTML document - the layout of the page viewed as plain text - resembles a spine made up of
multiple basic elements.
