Learn HTML Basics
HTML Basics...
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.
HTML is not a programming language.You don't need any previous programming experience.
Using this language you can start web designing.
What is Hyper Text Markup Language..??
- Hypertext is a text that is capable of moving from one document to another. This can be done by clicking on the hypertext.
- Markup means that specific portions of a document are marked up to indicate how they should be displayed in the browser. Markup is parts of the document that are used to describe how it should be displayed in a web browser.
HTML Tags:-
Tags indicate structure in an HTML document and a way of hierarchically arranging content.
HTML tags are keywords surrounded by angle brackets like <html>.
HTML tags normally come in pairs like <p> and </p>.
HTML tags are not case sensitive.
Basic HTML tags:-
Document Structure..
<!DOCTYPE html> : To Indicate the web Page is html 5.
<HTML> </HTML> : Start and end of HTML document.
<TITLE> </TITLE> : To add the tile to the Web Page.
<HEAD> </HEAD> : Document meta-information start and end.
<BODY> </BODY> : Content of document displayed by the browser
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body> Page Body </body>
</html>
This is basic HTML program Structure.
Now we consider about Some HTML Writing Methods.
Header tags use to defines headers. Use different type headers <h1> to <h6>. <h1> is largest header <h6> is smallest header.
Paragraphs tags <p> use to define paragraphs.
Break <br/> tag use to insert single line break and <hr/> tag use to Creates a horizontal line in the HTML page.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>This is Heading 1 </h1> <br/>
<p>The hr tag defines a horizontal rule:</p>
<hr />
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<hr />
</body>
</html>
Text formatting tags are also important tag for web design.
<B> </B> : Defines bold text.
<I> </I> : Defines italic text.
<TT> </TT> : Defines Teletype italic text.
<U> </U> : Defines underline text.
<SUB> </SUB> : Defines sub scripted text.
<SUP> </SUP> : Defines super scripted text.
<SMALL> </SMALL> : Defines small text.
<DEL> </DEL> : Defines inserted text.
<INS> </INS> : Defines deleted text.
These are the same of basic formatting tags.
Listing is another impotent thing in HTML.
HTML supports ordered, unordered and definition lists.
An unordered list is a list of items. The list items are marked with bullets (typically small black circles). An unordered list starts with the <ul> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag. Inside a list item you can put paragraphs, line breaks, images, links, other lists, etc.
ordered list is also a list of items. The list items are marked with numbers. An ordered list starts with the <ol> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag.
You can understand how to apply list in this examples.
Unordered List:-
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>Unordered Lists </title>
</head>
<body>
<UL TYPE="square">
<LI> One </LI> <LI> Two </LI>
<UL TYPE="circle">
<LI> Three </LI> <LI> Four </LI>
<UL TYPE="square">
<LI> Five </LI> <LI> Six </LI>
</UL> </UL> </UL>
</body>
</html>
Ordered List:-
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>Ordered Lists Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<OL TYPE="A">
<LI> Item one </LI> <LI> Item two </LI>
<OL TYPE="a" >
<LI> Sublist item one </LI> <LI> Sublist item two </LI>
<OL TYPE="1">
<LI> Sub-sublist item one </LI> <LI> Sub-sublist item two </LI>
</OL> </OL> </OL>
</body>
</html>
Hyperlinks in HTML
<a> tag use to define Hyperlinks.
You can understand it in this example.
<a href="http://www.abc.com/">Visit SLIIT!</a>

You can add Image using this tag
<img src="<!--Path to the image file-->" width="42" height="42">
