Key Features of HTML5

        Some of the important features of HTML5 are:
            It is a platform independent language.

            It allows us to build tables.
            It allows us to add a link on the web page.
            It is not case sensitive language.
            It is a very easy and simple language.
             It provides a flexible way to design web pages along with the text.

        Types of HTML Editor

        There are mainly two types of HTML editors named WYSIWYG editor and Text editor. Let us now
        discuss these editors.

        WYSIWYG Editor

        WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get. This type of editor allows the developer to see
        what the end result will look like when the document is created. These editors provide various tools
        and graphical interfaces where the web pages are designed. Examples of WYSIWYG editors are Adobe
        Dreamweaver, Amaya and Google Web Designer.

        Text Editor

        We can create HTML documents using normal text editors like Notepad or Wordpad. The user should
        have a proper knowledge of the HTML commands to develop a web page.


             TAGS AND ATTRIBUTES

        As we know that HTML is a markup language. It uses tags to markup the content of the web pages.
        These tags also have their attributes. Let us learn more about tags and attributes.

        Tags

        Tags are the basic building blocks of a web page. They tell the browser how the information is to be
        displayed on the web page. Tags do not appear in the browser window but they affect the display of
        the text and non-text items in it. Each tag in HTML follows specific rules and syntax. HTML tags are not
        case sensitive.

        In HTML document, a tag name begins with an opening angular bracket (<) and  ends with closing
        angular bracket (>). For example,

                                    <TagName> content </TagName>



                                      Opening tag                   Closing tag


        Both opening and closing tags are same. The only difference is that the closing tag contains a forward
        slash before the tag name. Most of the tags in HTML have opening and closing tags. A combination of
        opening tag, content, and closing tag is called an element.
