Hyper Text Mark-up Language (HTML) Tags
| TAGS | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| html ... /html | The html tag must be the VERY FIRST tag that appears in any HTML file. html tells the Web browser that this is the beginning of an HTML document and the /html tag tells the browser that the HTML file is finished. The tags with slash "/" respresent a closing tag. l |
| head ... /headl | The head and /head tags defines that part of the document containing information about the page. This section includes the TITLE of the document. l |
| title ... /titlel | This tag surrounds the TITLE of your document. Note: The TITLE appears at the top of your browser window. For example, look at the top of this page.l |
| body ... /body | The body tag usually comes immediately after the /head tag that ended your HEAD section. The /body tag comes before the /html tag at the end of the document. |
| hx ... /hx | These tags are used to create headings. There are six different sizes with h1 being the largest and h6 being the smallest. |
| p | This tag signals the end of one paragraph and the beginning of the next. There is supposed to be a closing tag /p tag. One thing to keep in mind is that web browsers cannot indent the first word of a paragraph, so this tag leaves a blank space between two paragraphs; however, multiple p tags will NOT result in multiple blank lines. |
| br | This tag represents a line break. It also does not have a closing tag. The optional argument CLEAR in conjunction with aligned images is useful. |
| hr | This the horizontal rule tag. It instructs the browser to insert a paragraph break into the content with a line separating the paragraphs. The browser will automatically adjust the line to fill the witdth of the display window. |
| b | The text between these tags will be bold. |
| i | The text between these tags will be in italics. |
