Course description

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the fundamental building block of web development, used to create and organize content on the internet. It provides the basic framework for web pages by defining elements such as headings, paragraphs, links, images, tables, and multimedia. HTML uses a system of tags and attributes to describe the structure and presentation of web content.

Key Features of HTML:

1. Document Structure:

   • HTML organizes web content into a hierarchical structure using elements like head and body. The head contains metadata and links to external resources, while the body holds the actual content to be displayed.

2. Elements and Tags:

   • HTML elements and tags are used to construct and format content on web pages. Each tag serves a specific purpose such as for headings, for paragraphs, for links etc. These tags contribute to the overall structure and functionality of the web page.
     

3. Attributes:

   • HTML elements can have attributes that provide additional information or modify their behavior. They are added to HTML tags within the opening tag and are written as name-value pairs. These attributes can be used for links, identifiers, accessibility, media and others. For example an 'id' attribute specifies a unique identifier for an element within a document. 

4. Formatting and Layout:

   • HTML allows for the formatting of text, creating of lists, tables, forms, basic structure and input elements. It provides the tools needed to structure and format web content effectively, though styling and layout are typically enhanced with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).

5. Multimedia Integration:

   • HTML supports the embedding of multimedia elements such as images, audio, and video using tags like ,

6. Semantic HTML:

   • Modern HTML emphasizes semantic elements that convey meaning and structure to both browsers and developers. Semantic HTML tags help improve accessibility, search engine optimization (SEO), and maintainability of web pages.
