Learning HTML syntax

HTML is a language used to create websites. It stands for Hypertext Markup Language.

Imagine you are making a book report for a class project. You would write the story and add pictures, headings, and bullet points to make it look nice and organized. HTML is like the instructions for making a website look nice and organized.

For example, if you want to make a heading for the title of your book report, you would use the <h1> tag. So, the title “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” would be written like this in HTML: <h1>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone</h1>.

If you want to add a picture of Harry Potter to your report, you would use the <img> tag. The image source would be added to the tag <img src=”harrypotter.jpg”>.

And if you want to make a list of characters in the story, you would use the <ul> tag for unordered list, and <li> for each list item. Like this:

<ul> <li>Harry Potter</li> <li>Ron Weasley</li> <li>Hermione Granger</li> </ul>So, HTML is the code that makes websites look nice, organized and easy to read.

The HyperText Markup Language of HTML is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. It can be assisted by technologies such as Cascading Style Sheets and scripting languages such as JavaScript.

Headers

The <header> HTML element represents introductory content, typically a group of introductory or navigational aids. It may contain some heading elements but also a logo, a search form, an author name, and other elements.

Compression

The most common compression scheme is GZIP, which is a file format that uses a lossless compression algorithm called DEFLATE. The algorithm looks for repeat occurrences of text in the HTML output and replaces occurrences with references to a previous occurrence.

Space

Since there is no blank space keyboard character in HTML, you must type the entity   for each space to add. To insert blank spaces in text in HTML, type   for each space to add. For example, to create five blank spaces in your text, you would type   entity five times between the words.

Purpose

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is the code that is used to structure a web page and its content. For example, content could be structured within a set of paragraphs, a list of bulleted points, or using images and data tables.
