The World Wide Web Consortium (http://w3c.org) sets the standards for HTML and its related languages.

What is HTML?
HTML is not a programming language, it is a markuplanguage
A markup language is a set of markup tagsThe purpose of the tags are to describe page content
4
What is HTML?
HTML markup tags are usually referred to as an HTML element or HTML tag.
Each tag has a purpose.HTML tags are keywords (tag names) surrounded by
angle brackets , "<" and ">" symbols, like <html>.HTML tags normally come in pairs; an opening tag and a
closing tag, like <b> and </b> The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the
end tag The end tag is written like the start tag, with a forward
slash before the tag name Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing
tags
5
HTML tag
"HTML tags" and "HTML elements" are often used todescribe the same thing.
But strictly speaking, an HTML element is everythingbetween the start tag and the end tag, including thetags.
6
HTML Elements
<p>This is a paragraph.</p><p>This is a paragraph.</p>
HTML documents describe web pagesHTML documents contain HTML tags and plain textHTML documents are also called web pages
7
HTML Documents = Web Pages
The purpose of a web browser (Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox) is to read HTML documents and display them as web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content of the page.
8
Web Browsers
an HTML document has an hierarchical structure<html> - is the root of the html document <head> - contains metadata about the document,
action-scripting (see javascript), styles (see CSS) and general information referenced in the whole document
<body> - contains the actual text of the document

HTML Elements
An HTML element starts with a start tag / opening tag
An HTML element ends with an end tag / closing tagThe element content is everything between the start
and the end tagSome HTML elements have empty contentEmpty elements are closed in the start tagMost HTML elements can have attributes
16
HTML Element Syntax
Most HTML elements can be nested (can contain other HTML elements).
HTML documents consist of nested HTML elements.
17
Nested HTML Elements
HTML elements with no content are called emptyelements.
<br> is an empty element without a closing tag (the<br> tag defines a line break).
Tip: In XHTML, all elements must be closed. Adding aslash inside the start tag, like <br />, is the proper wayof closing empty elements in XHTML (and XML).
18
Empty HTML Elements
HTML tags are not case sensitive: <P> means the same as <p>. Many web sites use uppercase HTML tags.
19
Use Lowercase Tags
HTML elements can have attributesAttributes provide additional information about an
element.Attributes are always specified in the start tagAttributes come in name/value pairs like:
name="value"
20
HTML Attributes
Example<a href="http://www.w3schools.com">This is a link</a>
Attribute values should always be enclosed in quotes.Double style quotes are the most common, but single
style quotes are also allowed.Tip: In some rare situations, when the attribute value
itself contains quotes, it is necessary to use singlequotes:• name='John "ShotGun" Nelson‘
Newer versions of (X)HTML will demand lowercaseattributes.

Always Quote Attribute Values
