    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.

                      EMPTY TAGS
                      These tags are self-contained. They have only an opening tag.

                      For example: <BR>.
                      The Line Break tag is an empty tag that does not require any corresponding closing tag.
