HTML: Basics Part-II
Basic HTML Document
Below mentioned are the basic HTML tags which divides the whole document into various parts like head, body etc.
·
Every
HTML document begins with a HTML document tag. Although this is not mandatory
but it is a good convention to start the document with this below mentioned
tag:
<!DOCTYPE html>
·
<html> : Every HTML code must be enclosed between
basic HTML tags. It begins with <html> and
ends with </html> tag.
·
<head> : The head tag comes next which contains all
the header information of the web page or document like the title of the page
and other miscellaneous information. These information are enclosed within head
tag which opens with <head> and
ends with </head>. The contents of
this tag will be explained in the later posts of the course.
·
<title> : We can mention the title of a web
page using the <title> tag. This is the header information and
hence mentioned within the head tags. The tag begins with <title>and ends with </title>
·
<body> : Next step is the most important
of all the tags we have learned so far. The body tag contains the actual body
of the page which will be visible to all the users. This opens with <body> and ends with </body>. Every content enclosed within this
tag will be shown on the web page, it can be writings or images or audios or
videos or even links. We will see later in the upcoming posts how using various
tags we may insert mentioned contents into our web pages.
The whole
pattern of the code will look something like this:
<!DOCTYPE
html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- Information about the
page -->
<!--This is the comment
tag-->
<title>
SumProgs </title>
</head>
<body>
<!--Contents of the
webpage-->
</body>
</html>
This code
won’t display anything. It just shows the basic pattern of how to write the
HTML code and will name the title of the page as SumProgs.
<! – – comment here – – > is the comment tag in HTML and
HTML doesn’t reads the line present inside this tag. This tag is used for
increasing the readability of code and for easy debugging.
In the upcoming post, the last part of the topic
HTML: Basic, I would cover the basic writings tags that will be shown on the web page.
