HTML

ISRdesign · # 1 (**permalink**)

HTML, an initialism of HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. It provides a means to describe the structure of text-based information in a document — by denoting certain text as links, headings, paragraphs, lists, and so on — and to supplement that text with interactive forms, embedded images, and other objects.

HTML is written in the form of tags, surrounded by angle brackets. HTML can also describe, to some degree, the appearance and semantics of a document, and can include embedded scripting language code which can affect the behavior of web browsers and other HTML processors.

HTML is also often used to refer to content of the MIME type text/html or even more broadly as a generic term for HTML whether in its XML-descended form (such as XHTML 1.0 and later) or its form descended directly from SGML (such as HTML 4.01 and earlier).

Some very basic info 'about' HTML.
Would have been better with a brief-up of the syntax and some sample codes, too.

Anyway, thanks for posting.

HTML is outdated and more cleaner and strict version is xHTML. Here's a very basic tutorial to addon to your's. There are comments beyond // and thus the code won't work in a browser if you copy/paste. Remove the comments and it'd work.

Quote:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> // Here we declared the document type to avoid the browser to switch to quirks mode

<html xmls="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> // The start of xHTML

<head> // We start the head tag here which contains info like the TITLE, Meta tags etc

<title> Something here </title> // Here we put the title between the title tags.

</head>// Ending the head tag. We havent put anything like meta tags etc.

<body> // We start the main body of the website
<p> Content goes here </p> //This starts a paragraph
<ul> This starts an unordered list which will contain the List Items as below
<li> Item 1 </li>
<li> Item 2 </li>
</ul> //Closing the unordered list

<a href="http://www.yahoo.com"> Yahoo </a> // Here we have marked up an anchor link which will direct to Yahoo.

</body> //Ending rhe body tag.
</html> //HTML ends

This looks really bad!

It was very basic and no <div> tags or classes included. They may come in next posts.

Best regards,
