HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the standard language used to create web pages. Web pages are structured using a variety of HTML tags, each with a specific purpose. Here are some of the basic HTML tags:
1. **'<! DOCTYPE html>’**: This declaration defines the version of HTML you’re using. In HTML5 documents, ‘< is always used! DOCTYPE html>’ to indicate that you’re using the latest version of the HTML standard. Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Your title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Page content goes here -->
</body>
</html>
2. **'<html>’**: This tag delimits the start and end of the HTML document. All content on the website is within these tags.
3. **'<head>’**: This section contains information about the document, such as the page title, links to CSS files, metadata, and scripts. The content within ‘<head>’ is not displayed directly on the website.
•4. **'<title>’**: Defines the title of the web page, which appears in the browser’s title bar or browser tabs when users visit the page.
5. **'<body>’**: This tag delimits the visible content of the web page. Everything you want users to see on the page (text, images, links, etc.) is placed inside the ‘<body>’ tags.
6. **'<h1>’, ‘<h2>’, ‘<h3>’, ‘<h4>’, ‘<h5>’, ‘<h6>’**: These tags are used to define headers of different levels. ‘<h1>’ is the most important header and ‘<h6>’ is the least important. Headings are used to structure and organize page content.
<h1>Level 1</h1>
<h2>Level 2</h2>
<h3>Level 3</h3>
<!-- ... up to h6 -->
7. **'<p>’**: Defines a paragraph of text. All text that is inside the ‘<p>’ tags will be displayed as a paragraph on the web page.
8. **'<a>’**: Create a link to another web page or online resource. The ‘href’ attribute within the ‘<to>’ tag specifies the URL to which the link should lead.
<a href="https://www.example.com">Link to Example.com</a>
9. **'<img>’**: Used to display images on the web page. The ‘src’ attribute specifies the source (URL) of the image.
<img src="imagen.jpg" alt="Image description">
10. **'<ul>’**, ‘<ol>’, ‘<li>’: These are used to create lists. ‘<ul>’ represents an unordered list (bullets), ‘<ol>’ represents an ordered list (numbers or letters), and ‘<li>’ represents each item in the list.
<ol>
<li>Element 1</li>
<li>Element 2</li>
<li>Element 3</li>
</ol>
11. **'<div>’**: It is a division tag that is used to organize and structure the content of the web page into blocks. Elements within ‘<div>’ tags can be stylized or manipulated as a group using CSS or JavaScript.
<div>
<!-- Content grouped here -->
</div>
<section>
<!-- section of the page here -->
</section>
12. **'<span>’**: Similar to ‘<div>’, but instead of blocking content, ‘<span>’ is used to apply specific styles or manipulations to individual parts of inline text.
