HTML TAGS
An HTML tag is the basic building block of any HTML file or webpage. Different Tags format the way, how information or text is displayed on our browser.
example: <tagname> content </tagname>
The main parts of our element are as follows:
- Element names are surrounded by angle brackets <>
- Normally every element has an opening tag and a closing tag
- Closing tag has a forward slash in them.
- Some tags close themselves, these are called self-closing tags.
- Self-closing tags do not have any content present in them which could be displayed on the browser. They are usually used in formatting the document or adding some style to it.
example: <br/> is a self-closing tag
HTML Page Structure
This is what an HTML document looks like:
-
<html></html>— the<html>Tag. Every HTML document starts with an<html>tag and ends with an</html>. This element wraps all the content on the entire page (everything!) and is also known as the root element.
-
<head></head>— the<head>Tag. The content inside the Head Element has nothing to do with the output we display on the browser. It usually contains descriptions such as page titles, links to CSS or JavaScript Files, data regarding the HTML document, and more
-
<body></body>— the<body>Tag. This contains all the content that we want to display on the browser, whether that's text, images, videos, graphics, etc.
