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 in Text Editor.
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.
With the help of tags, a web browser can distinguish between an HTML content and a simple content.
In HTML document, a tag name begins with an opening angular bracket (<) and ends with closing
angular bracket (>). For example,
HTML tags contain three main parts: opening tag, content and closing tag. But some HTML tags are
unclosed tags.
<TagName> content </TagName>
Opening tag Closing tag
