HTML Basics
HTML is usually seen as a simple computer language, but what more is there to it, and how do you learn?
Sure, it is much simpler than almost any other language out there, but really is its purpose.
HTML is a markup language.
HTML stands for: Hyper Text Markup Language
Let’s get started with the basics:
Here is a simple HTML document
The <!Doctypehtml> states that the document or document type is HTML
The <html> tag states that everything inside it is HTML
The <Head> tag is the basic info that will show in the top.
Here I have put in Heading 1 or <H1>
A good way to organize your content, for later edits in CSS, is by using dividers. You add a divider then add a name of the section or class. It is as simple as that.
Lets add some navigation now.
Firstly, UL stands for Unordered List.
Li will set up the list in an order.
<a href is for setting up a link. This makes your text a link.
When it is all done it looks like this:
<!doctype html> <html> <head>
<h1>Film Planet Productions</h1> </head> <body> <div class="nav">
<ul> <li><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">Videos</a></li> <li><a href="#">About Me</a></li> </ul> </div>
</body> </html>
Or, if a picture is better, it should look like this
