HTML Documents All HTML documents must start with a document type declaration: <!DOCTYPE html>. The HTML document itself begins with <html> and ends with </html>. The visible part of the HTML document is between <body> and </body>. Example: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h1>My First Heading</h1> <p>My first paragraph.</p> </body> </html> The <!DOCTYPE> Declaration The <!DOCTYPE> declaration represents the document type, and helps browsers to display web pages correctly. It must only appear once, at the top of the page (before any HTML tags). The <!DOCTYPE> declaration is not case sensitive. The <!DOCTYPE> declaration for HTML5 is: <!DOCTYPE html> HTML Headings HTML headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags. <h1> defines the most important heading. <h6> defines the least important heading. In addition, heading sizes and typography varies with h1 being the largest and h6 being the smallest. Their sizes may also vary depending on the device (desktop, tablet, mobile) but I won't tackle much on that. Example: <h1>This is heading 1</h1> :: Bold 2.125rem (34px) in desktop <h2>This is heading 2</h2> :: Bold 1.875rem (30px) in desktop <h3>This is heading 3</h3> :: Bold 1.5rem (24px) in desktop <h4>This is heading 4</h4> :: Bold 1.25rem (20px) in desktop <h5>This is heading 5</h5> :: Bold 1.125rem (18px) in desktop <h6>This is heading 6</h6> :: Bold 1rem (16px) in desktop HTML Paragraphs HTML paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag. Example: <p>This is a paragraph.</p> <p>This is another paragraph.</p> HTML Links HTML links are defined with the <a> tag. The link's destination is specified in the href attribute. Example: <a href="https://www.writing.com">This is a link</a> HTML Images HTML images are defined with the <img> tag. The source file (src), alternative text (alt), width, and height are provided as attributes: Example: <img src="https://www.writing.com/main/photos/action/display/version/1705586980/id/1069732.png" alt="Gervic Portal Header" width="1920" height="250"> |
