Basic Page Structure

"Understand the foundational layout of an HTML document."

Minimal Page Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <title>Your Website Title Here</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <!-- Page content goes here -->
    </body>
</html>

Text Formatting

"Effective methods for structuring and highlighting text within your web pages."

Headings and Paragraphs

  • Headings (<h1> to <h6>): Define the importance of the headings from main to least.
  • Paragraphs (<p>): Wrap text into distinct blocks.
<h1>Main heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph that describes the main topic.</p>
<h2>Subheading</h2>
<p>Additional details follow in another paragraph.</p>

Formatting Text

  • Emphasize text with <strong>, <em>, <mark>, <small>, <sup>, and <sub> to enhance readability or semantic meaning.
<p><strong>Bold text</strong> for emphasis, <em>italic to highlight</em>, and <mark>marked text</mark> for attention.</p>

"Link to other pages and display images."

  • Use the <a> tag to create hyperlinks to external pages, or link within the same page using anchors.
<a href="https://www.example.com">Visit Example</a>
<a href="#section">Jump to Section</a>

Images

  • Integrate images using <img>, specifying source (src), alternative text (alt), and dimensions.
<img src="logo.png" alt="Website Logo" width="200" height="100">

Advanced Structures

"Organize content using lists, tables, and forms for better interaction."

Lists

  • Create ordered (<ol>) and unordered (<ul>) lists for items. Use <li> for each item.
<ul>
    <li>First item</li>
    <li>Second item</li>
</ul>

Tables

  • Structure data with <table>, including rows (<tr>), headers (<th>), and cells (<td>).
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>Name</th>
        <th>Email</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>John Doe</td>
        <td>john@example.com</td>
    </tr>
</table>

Forms

  • Collect user input through forms (<form>), utilizing input fields (<input>), labels (<label>), and other interactive elements.
<form action="/submit" method="post">
    <label for="name">Name:</label>
    <input type="text" id="name" name="name">
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
