Hi All
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language - it’s a markup language that defines the structure for content
It is used to define the structure of web pages
To be able to add content into a web page
A tag defines the type of content to be inserted. Generally an opening and closing tag are required with the content being inserted between the tags. In the case of an img tag, no closing tag is required.
A tag is a character or set of characters that sit between a less than and greater than sign <>
An attribute contains extra information about an element that you don’t want showing up in the content.
Opening and closing tags with and tags nested within.
The tags are the root tags which define the document type.
The tag contains information about the page such as or styling but it does not show as content.
The tag contains all the content of the web page.

HTML Reading Assignment 1
Html (hypertext markup language) is the coding language that is used to structure a web page and its content. For instance, HTML can be used to structure content within a set of paragraphs, a list of bulleted points, or using images and data tables. HTML is, therefore, a markup language that defines the structure of content on a web page. HTML is comprised of a series of elements, which are used to enclose or wrap, different parts of the content to make it appear in a particular way, or act in a certain way on the web page. The enclosing tags can be used to make a word or image hyperlink to somewhere else, can italicize words, can make the font bigger or smaller, et cetera.
HTML is used to structure a web page and its content. Thus, HTML is a markup language that defines the structure of your content. HTML can be used to make the content appear in a particular way, or act in a certain way.
Why are we learning HTML?
We are learning HTML with the intention of being able to define the structure web pages and their contents.
What is an HTML tag?
An HTML tag is a subcomponent of a HTML element. HTML elements consist of two tags, the opening tag and the closing tag. In HTML, a tag is used for creating an element. The name of an HTML element is the name used in angle brackets like
for paragraph
What is the structure of an HTML tag?
An HTML tag consists of two opposite angle brackets with a name in-between the brackets. For example,
for paragraph. The end or closing tag’s name is preceded by a slasher characters,
. In empty elements, the end tag is neither required nor allowed.Opening tags consist of the name of the element, wrapped in opening and closing angle brackets. The opening tag is used to state where the element begins or starts to take effect.
The closing tag includes a forward slash before the element name and is used to state where the element ends.
HTML elements can also contain attributes. Attributes contain additional information about the element that the developer does not want to appear in the actual content the end user can see on the web page. Attributes consist of a name and a value.
An attribute must always have the following:
1: A space between the attribute and the element name (or the previous attribute, if the element already has one or more attributes)
2: The attribute name followed by an equal sign
3: The attribute value must be wrapped by opening and closing quotation marks
However, simply attribute values that do not contain ASCII whitespace can remain unquoted, but it is recommended that developers quote all attribute values, as it makes the code itself more consistent and understandable.
Below is an example of the anatomy of an HTML document:
My test page
HTML is a markup language that defines the structure of your content.
HTML is used to enclose, or wrap, different parts of the content to make it appear a certain way, or act a certain way.
To learn coding basics for a webpage
Tag, opening and closing, is used to define an element.
The name of the element wrapped with opening and closing brackets. Closing tag includes 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.
Doctype, html root element, head element, meta charset UTF-8 element, title element, body element.
1 & 2 HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is a markup language used to give documents semantic meaning and structure, primarily used on the web.
3 The front end of any web application is built in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Of these three primary technologies, HTML is the most foundational.
4 & 5 An HTML tag is an individual unit of HTML markup that gives any text content wrappend between it its semantic meaning. Tags are typically structured with an and pair of elements. For example, heading text may be denoted by:
6 Attributes are additional metadata that may be associated with an HTML tag, such as the href attribute on an anchor tag which is used to set the destination URL of a link.
7 HTML documents have a head and body section, with document metadata such as the page title and links to external resources such as stylesheets typically contained in the head, and the user-facing elements contained within the body. HTML documents possess a nested structure - with parent elements wrapping children.
HyperTest Markup Language is the code that is used to structure a web page and it’s content.
For creating websites.
It’s the basics of making a website
It’s used for making an element on a page. For example a text, images or hyperlink. It defines when this element starts or ends.
It’s a letter(s) (for example “p”) between brackets
for opening and it closes the element with a slash between brachets and the letter(s)
It contains information you don t wan’t to appear in the actual element.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head> Here you write things that you want to appear in search results, describtions etc, that won't appear on the site itself.
<meta charset="utf-8">`
<title> here you write the title of the page</title>
<body> Here you write your page, with alle elements
</body>
</html>

What is the anatomy of a HTML document?
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the code that is used to structure a web page and its content.
HTML is a markup language that defines the structure of your content. 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.
Because it´s one of the most commenly used programming languages and its our foundation for keep going on learning.
An HTML tag is commonly defined as a set of characters constituting a formatted command for a Web page. At the core of HTML, tags provide the directions or recipes for the visual content that one sees on the Web.
Opening and closing tag and content between it.
Attributes contain extra information about the element that you don’t want to appear in the actual content.
Opening and closing tag and content between it.
HTML which stands for hypertext markup language is a markup language that defines the structure of your content.
HTML is used to structure a webpage and makes content appear or act a certain way.
HTML is a foundational coding language used for programming.
HTML tags are part of an HTML element. These tags have an opening and a closing and hold content within them.
Structure of HTML tag is an opening and closing tag, these hold content within them.
Attributes contain extra information about the element that you don’t want to appear in the actual content. This is something only the developer can see.
Anatomy of an HTML document begins with !DOCTYPE html tag, this is then followed by a tags(this wraps the entire HTML content. Following this is , <meta charset=, , and .
What is HTML?
It is hypertext markup language, it defines a structure of the content.
What is HTML used for?
It is used for structuring a web page and its content. It consists of different elements that make the web page appear and act in a certain way.
Why are we learning HTML?
So we can develop web pages and structure them as we wish.
What is an HTML tag?
Tags are used for adding hyperlinks to words or images, they can also give certain features to different elements (bigger, smaller fonts, italicized words…)
What is the structure of an HTML tag?
We know opening and closing tag, in between is content and the whole thing is named the element. Opening tag consists of the name of the element that is wraped in opening and closing angle brackets. Closing tag is the same, the only difference is it has forward slash before the name of the element.
What is an attribute?
Attributes contain of the extra information that we don’t want to appear in the actual content. They define additional properties of the element (for example width and hight of an image). Attribute has a name and an attribute value.
Between the name of the element and an atribute has to be space, then we add name of the attribute, equals sign (=) and value of the attribute that has to be in quotation marks (’‘something’’)
What is the anatomy of an HTML document?
-doctype
-html: root element that wraps contents of the entire page
-head: acts like the container of everything you want to include to the html page that isn’t the content of the page (for example keywords, page description that appears in search results…)
-meta charset=“utf-8”
-title: The title of the page that appears in browsing tab. It also appears when you bookmark/favorite the page
-body: it contains all of the elements you want to appear on the page (text, images, links,audio…)

<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>My test page</title>

What is HTML?
Hypertext Markup Language is the syntax that forms the structure of a web page that instructs an internet browser how to display the content on the device.
What is HTML used for?
HTML defines the structure of the content on the web page via elements (a single data item, a group of text, an image, etc.) that are used to make the content appear or act in a certain way.
Why are we learning HTML?
We need HTML (structure), CSS (look/styling) and Javascript (buttons/functionality) to build what a user will experience when they use our Decentralized Application on a blockchain.
What is an HTML tag?
HTML tags define where an element begins and ends.
What is the structure of an HTML tag?
The Opening Tag consists of: opening angle bracket (“<”), the name of the element, and a closing angle bracket (“>”). The Opening Tag would be placed where the element begins or starts to take effect.
The Closing Tag is the same as the Opening Tag, except that it includes a forward slash (“/”) before the element name. The Closing Tag would be placed where the element ends.
What is an attribute?
An attribute contains extra information about an element that won’t actually appear in the actual content, but gives you the ability to label an element with an identifier that can be used to target it and other elements with the same class value with style information.
What is the anatomy of an HTML document?
The individual elements that are combined to form an entire HTML page consist of:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Title on Browser Tab</title>
</head>
<body>
<img src="images/firefox-icon.png" alt="My test image">
</body>
</html>
