I am working on Codeacademy’s HTML Fundamentals Lesson and have learned a few HTML concepts:
-
Start an HTML file with the
<!DOCTYPE html>
declaration. This allows the browser to interpret the file as containing html content and works with the correct version of HTML. -
The next line should contain the
<html>
element. Add all of the code between the html open and closing tags. -
Information which will not be shown/rendered on the web page is contained inside between the
<head>
open and closing tags. -
Use the
<title>
element inside of the head to display the web page name on the browser’s tab. -
Use
<a>
anchor elements to add links to internal/external pages. -
You can organize your code (spacing/indentation) however you like and it won’t reflect on the web page (unless you are nesting incorrectly, which is why indenting and spacing to create readable code is important!).
-
Use the following syntax to comment out code or information from the html file:
<!-- content -->"
. The content inside of this code will not be visible on the web page.
