HTML and CSS make up webpages. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language and describes the structure of a web page by defining content as an image, or a box, or text. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet and gives the content in your HTML file style. It beautifies your page - ex: font size/type, alignments, image size, color, shading, animations, etc.
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It describes the structure of a static web page and its contents using markup, or HTML tags. For example, the <body> tag represents the start of the content of an html page and the <head> tag signifies the location of site meta data.
When a website is visited, the static HTML file for the page is downloaded, the content is parsed, and the site is rendered accordingly.
There are three different types of HTML tags:
File Tags provide the structure of the web page and don't add any visible content to the site. Some examples include:
Block Tags create a new line on the web page and takes up the full width available. Some examples of block tags include:
Inline Tags don't normally create a new line on the web page. Instead, these tags usually take the width of the element that it surrounds and applies its effects. Some examples include:
NOTE: Some tags in HTML are self closing. This means that, unlike elements like <p> and <h1> that come in pairs (open and closing tag), self closing elements open and close on one line. One element that has this behavior is the <img /> tag. The tags that are present in this README will only have the opening tag, and self closing tags will have the closing slash.
