BASIC HTML TAGS
Let’s learn the basic tags of HTML.
Tags Description
The <HTML> tag tells the web browser that the text contained between <HTML>
<HTML>
and </HTML> is a webpage and can be viewed using a web browser.
The <HEAD> tag represents the header area of the document. It contains
<HEAD> information about the document title, scripts and style definitions used
in the document.
The <TITLE> tag represents the title of the document and is used inside the <HEAD>
<TITLE> tag. It appears on the title bar of the browser window. If you do not want to give
title to your webpage, you can skip it.
The <BODY> tag defines the part of the HTML document that is visible in the web
<BODY> browser. It contains all other tags that define the content presentation elements
such as images, lists, tables, text and links to move between the webpages.
ATTRIBUTES
An attribute is used to define some extra features or properties of an HTML tag. All attributes
have two parts: name and value. The ‘name’ is the property that you want to set. The ‘value’ is
what you want for the respective property.
Syntax to specify the attribute of any tag:
<tag_name attribute_name = “value”>
HTML COMMENTS
Comments are used to add notes or explanations within an HTML document. They help the
programmer by making it easier to understand and edit the document later. You can add
comments using a special tag, which looks like this: <!-- comment goes here -->.
For example, <!-- This is a comment in HTML -->
