Learning HTML - Day 1

HTML is something I hear often, hardly have any knowledge about its coding so have decided to learn about it at my own pace daily, will note whatever I learn in this blog so I can quickly check and refresh what I had learnt.

Today is 25th January 2021 and it is my first day to learn HTML 🙋

Day 1 - Time 12:00 pm - 12.30 pm

Day2    Day3    Day4    Day5    Day6    Day7    Day8     Day9      

Important Concepts in this page - Header Tags, Paragraph Tags

HTML is Hypertext Markup Language which is used for coding webpages.

Types of HTML - There are different versions of HTML; these are HTML, HTML+, HTML 1.0, HTML 2.0, HTML 3.2, HTML 4.01 (it has accessibility of Cascading Style Sheet and Multimedia) and now HTML 5.0

Necessity of HTML
- It is necessary because HTML code ensures the proper formatting of text and images for Internet browser. Without HTML, a browser would not know how to display text as elements or load images or other elements. HTML also provides a basic structure of the page upon which Cascading Style Sheets are overlaid to change its appearance.

New Term - Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) parking the term for the time being.

To write the code and see the preview, I have decided to use HTML online editor

HTML codes are written within < & > 

Note - The <html> tag represents the root of an HTML document. The <html> tag is the container for all other HTML elements (except for the <! DOCTYPE> tag).

Basic Structure of HTML -

<html>
  <head>
    <title> Title of the web page </title>
  </head>
  <body>
    Content what is to be displayed on the webpage
  </body>
</html>

Head - The head of an HTML document is the part that is not displayed in the web browser when the page is loaded

Title - The HTML Title element ( <title> ) defines the document's title that is shown in a browser's title bar or a page's tab. It only contains text

Body - The <body> tag defines the document's body. The <body> element contains all the contents of an HTML document, such as headings, paragraphs, images, hyperlinks, tables, lists, etc. Note: There can only be one <body> element in an HTML document.

Learning about HTML tags

HTML tags are the hidden keywords within a web page that define how your web browser must format and display the content. Most tags must have two parts, an opening and a closing part. The closing tag has the same text as the opening tag, but has an additional forward-slash ( / ) character.

Header Tag - The <header> tag in HTML is used to define the header for a document or a section. The header tag contains information related to the title and heading of the related content. A <header> tag cannot be placed within a <footer>, <address> or another <header> element. A <header> element typically contains one or more heading elements (<h1> to <h6>)

Code for Different Header Tags - 

<html>
  <head>
    <title> Title of the web page </title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>
      This line is within header tag - h1
    </h1>
    <h2>
      This line is within header tag - h2
    </h2>
    <h3>
      This line is within header tag - h3
    </h3>
    <h4>
      This line is within header tag - h4
    </h4>
    <h5>
      This line is within header tag - h5
    </h5>
    <h6>
      This line is within header tag - h6
    </h6>
  </body>
</html>

Header Tags Preview

Paragraph Tag - The paragraph tags are used to define a block of text as a paragraph. When a block of text is surrounded by the paragraph tags, the browser automatically adds white space before and after the paragraph. The paragraph tag is <p> & </p>.

Code for Paragraph Tag - 

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Title of the webpage</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>
      Paragraph 1 - Header Tag - The header  tag in HTML is used to define the header for a document or a section. The header tag contains information related to the title and heading of the related content. A header tag cannot be placed within a footer, address or another header element. 
    </p>
    <p>
      Paragraph 2 - The paragraph tags are used to define a block of text as a paragraph. When a block of text is surrounded by the paragraph tags, the browser automatically adds white space before and after the paragraph. 
    </p>
  </body>
</html>

Using both the header tag and paragraph tag

Code while using the Header Tag and Paragraph tag - 

<html>

  </head>
  <body>
     <p>
    <h1>Paragraph 1 - Header Tag</h1> - The header  tag in HTML is used to define the header for a document or a section. The header tag contains information related to the title and heading of the related content. A header tag cannot be placed within a footer, address or another header element.

Paragraph and Header tag preview
30 minutes completed, end of Day 1, learnt structure of HTML, paragraph tag, header tag there are some tags that I came across noting them to use in next day.

Line break tag - The HTML <br> element produces a line break in text. It is useful where the division of lines is significant. The <br> tag does not need a closing tag.

Horizontal line break tag - The <hr> tag defines a thematic break in an HTML page. The <hr> element is most often displayed as a horizontal rule that is used to separate content in an HTML page. The <hr> tag like <br> tag does not need a closing tag.

Hiding a text in HTML from appearing in an web page - <!--Text that we do not want to display--->
