HTML Basic
Examples❮
In this
chapter we will show some basic HTML examples.
Don't
worry if we use tags you have not learned about yet.
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:
Example
<h1>This is heading 1</h1>
<h2>This is heading 2</h2>
<h3>This is heading 3</h3>
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:
Example
<a href="https://www.w3schools.com">This is a link</a>
The
link's destination is specified in the href attribute.
Attributes
are used to provide additional information about HTML elements.
You will
learn more about attributes in a later chapter.
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="w3schools.jpg" alt="W3Schools.com" width="104" height="142">
How to View HTML Source?
Have you
ever seen a Web page and wondered "Hey! How did they do that?"
View HTML Source Code:
Right-click
in an HTML page and select "View Page Source" (in Chrome) or
"View Source" (in Edge), or similar in other browsers. This will open
a window containing the HTML source code of the page.
Inspect an HTML Element:
Right-click
on an element (or a blank area), and choose "Inspect" or
"Inspect Element" to see what elements are made up of (you will see
both the HTML and the CSS). You can also edit the HTML or CSS on-the-fly in the
Elements or Styles panel that opens
