WYSIWYG EDITOR
WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get. A WYSIWYG editors allow the developer
to see what the end result will look like, when the document is created.
These editors provide various tools and graphical interfaces to design webpages. Examples of
WYSIWYG editors are Adobe Dreamweaver, Amaya and Google Web Designer.
TEXT EDITOR
We can create HTML documents using simple text editors like Notepad or WordPad. However, to
develop a webpage, the user needs to have a good understanding of HTML tags and commands.
FEATURES OF HTML5
Following are some features of HTML5:
It is not a case-sensitive language. It supports rich media experiences.
It promotes accessibility and design responsiveness.
It makes it easier to add audio and video to webpages with the <audio> and <video> tags.
New input types like date, email, url, and range make it easier to create better forms and
improve user experience.
UNDERSTANDING HTML5 TAGS
An HTML document is made up of various tags or elements. A tag is a coded HTML instruction that
indicates how a part of the document will be displayed in the web browser. Each tag, which gives
specific instructions, is enclosed within angular brackets < >. HTML tags tell the web browser how
to organise and display text, images, and other content.
<TagName> content </TagName>
Opening tag Closing tag
Most of the tags in HTML have opening and closing tags. A combination of the opening tag, content,
and closing tag is called an element. We can write HTML tags in uppercase as well as lowercase.
The HTML tags can be categorised as: container and empty.
CONTAINER TAGS
Most tags in HTML come in pairs, meaning they have both an opening and a closing tag. The
closing tag is created by adding a forward slash (/) before the tag name.
For example: <HTML> ... </HTML>
The content or effects of the tag apply to everything between the opening and closing tags.
