Building blocks of HTML
Controls the layout and formatting of the elements in HTML
The general format for an HTML tag is:
<tag_name>string of text</tag_name>
When a web browser displays a page, it reads an HTML file; then it looks for special codes or "tags" that are marked by the < and > signs.
To make a closing tag just add a / (backslash) to the starting tag.
Note: Most, but not all tags have a closing tag.
PARTS OF HTML TAG
<font face=“Times New Roman”>HTML SERIES 10 </font>
TAG ATTRIBUTE TEXT CLOSING TAG
Note: Make sure to start with <html> and end with </html>.
The required elements in every HTML file are the following tags:
o <HTML> </HTML>o <HEAD> </HEAD>o <TITLE> </TITLE>o <BODY> </BODY>
Note: HTML is not case sensitive. So either <HTML>, <html> or <HtMl> is okay.
<HTML> </HTML>The HTML tag defines an HTML document.
<HEAD> </HEAD>Identifies the first part of your HTML-coded
document that contains the title.
<TITLE> </TITLE> Typically displayed in the title bar at the top
of the browser window, but not inside the window itself.
