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 proper knowledge of the HTML commands to develop a web page.
FEATURES OF HTML5
Now, we will learn about HTML5 in detail. Following are some features of HTML5:
It is not a case-sensitive language.
It supports rich media experiences.
It promotes accessibility and design responsiveness.
UNDERSTANDING HTML5 TAGS
An HTML document is made up of various tags or elements. A tag is a coded HTML command
that indicates how a part of the document will be displayed on the web browser. Each tag giving
a specific instruction is enclosed within < and >, called angular brackets. HTML tags tell a web
browser how to organise and present 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 TAGS
These tags come in pairs, i.e. they have both opening and closing tags. The closing tag is created
by putting a forward slash (/) at the beginning of the opening tag.
For example, <HTML> …………… </HTML>
The effects apply to the entire page section that comes between their starting and ending tags.
EMPTY TAGS
These tags are self-contained. They only contain an opening tag, they do not have a closing tag.
For example: <BR>.
The Line Break tag is an empty tag that does not require any corresponding closing tag.
