Essential HTML Skills
As we all know that HTML is the building block of a web document. Due to the ever gaining popularity of the internet the essence of learning the essential HTML skills has certainly climbed. If you are planning to build a website then the first and the foremost thing that you should do is learn HTML. Besides building the design of a document HTML also allows us to specify the links. So, it has page layout features and it also supports multimedia.
HTML is quite a simple language so it is not very difficult to learn. HTML provides various layout commands, called tags that let you control the presentation of information on the web pages. There are many tags in HTML like the html tag, title tag, head tag, body tag etc. the general sequence of the HTML document looks like:
The html tag marks the beginning and end of the HTML document, /operator is used for symbolizing the end of a particular tag. With the help of the title tag one can give a title to the webpage. The body tag contains all the code which makes up the web page, for example it contains the code for the background color, making a table, specifying the hyper links etc. All the tags have to be ended with the / operator.
As earlier said that HTML allows for specifying the hyperlinks, this can be explained with the help of the following code:
http://abc.com/”>xyz
here in this example a link named xyz has been made which will link this html document to abc.com. A hyper link has been created here. symbolizes the ending of the hyper link.
If you want something to be written in bold letters then you can use the following code:
…….code…….., the code which will be written here will automatically become bold. Similarly if you want to write the code in italics then you can replace the letter b with i in the above code. Note that HTML is not a case sensitive language so you don’t have to worry about the cases. Also if you want to make some code underlined then you can use the following syntax: …..code….., the code which we specify here will be underlined. So, these are some syntaxes which are most essential in the learning of the HTML.
