                     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.

                                                                                                 Introduction to HTML5  83
