Review
Congratulations on completing the first lesson of HTML & CSS! You are well on your way to becoming a skilled web developer.
Let‘s review what you‘ve learned so far:
- HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language and is used to create the structure and content of a webpage.
- Most HTML elements contain opening and closing tags with raw text or other HTML tags between them.
- Single-closing tags cannot enclose raw text or other elements.
- Comments are written in HTML using the following syntax:
<!-- comment -->. - HTML elements can be nested inside other elements. The enclosed element is the child of the enclosing parent element.
- Whitespace between HTML elements helps make code easier to read while not changing how elements appear in the browser.
- Indentation also helps make code easier to read. It makes parent-child relationships visible.
- The
<!DOCTYPE html>declaration should always be the first line of code in your HTML files. - The
<html>element will contain all of your HTML code. - Information about the web page, like the title, belongs within the
<head>of the page. - You can add a title to your web page by using the
<title>element, inside of the head. - A webpage‘s title appears in a browser‘s tab.
- Code for visible HTML content is placed inside of the
<body>element.
What you learned in this lesson constitutes the required setup for all HTML files. The rest of the course will teach you more about how to add content using HTML.
