The document discusses basic HTML tags for headings, paragraphs, line breaks, comments, and tables. Headings are defined using <h1> to <h6> tags, with <h1> being the largest heading. Paragraphs use the <p> tag. The <br> tag creates a line break within a paragraph. Comments are added with <!-- comment --> and do not display in browsers. Tables allow arranging data into rows and columns using various table tags. Framesets divide pages into frames using the <frameset> tag.

Basic HTML Tags

INTRODUCTION

▪ The most important tags in HTML are


tags that define headings, paragraphs
and line breaks.
▪ The best way to learn HTML is to work
with examples.
Headings
▪ Headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags. <h1>
defines the largest heading. <h6> defines the smallest
heading.
▪ <h1>This is a heading</h1>
▪ <h2>This is a heading</h2>
▪ <h3>This is a heading</h3>
▪ <h4>This is a heading</h4>
▪ <h5>This is a heading</h5>
▪ <h6>This is a heading</h6>
▪ HTML automatically adds an extra blank line before
and after a heading.
Paragraphs

▪ Paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag.


▪ <p>This is a paragraph</p>
▪ <p>This is another paragraph</p>
▪ HTML automatically adds an extra blank
line before and after a paragraph.
Line Breaks

▪ The <br> tag is used when you want to


end a line, but don't want to start a new
paragraph. The <br> tag forces a line
break wherever you place it.
▪ <p>This <br> is a para<br>graph with
line breaks</p>The <br> tag is an empty
tag. It has no closing tag.
Comments in HTML

▪ The comment tag is used to insert a comment


in the HTML source code. A comment will be
ignored by the browser. You can use
comments to explain your code, which can
help you when you edit the source code at a
later date.
▪ <!-- This is a comment -->Note that you need
an exclamation point after the opening bracket,
but not before the closing bracket.
Basic Notes - Useful Tips

▪ When you write HTML text, you can


never be sure how the text is displayed in
another browser. Some people have
large computer displays, some have
small. The text will be reformatted every
time the user resizes his window. Never
try to format the text in your editor by
adding empty lines and spaces to the
text.
Basic Notes
(continued)
▪ HTML will truncate the spaces in your
text. Any number of spaces count as one.
Some extra information: In HTML a new
line counts as one space.
Basic Notes
(continued)
▪ Using empty paragraphs <p> to insert
blank lines is a bad habit. Use the <br>
tag instead. (But don't use the <br> tag to
create lists. Wait until you have learned
about HTML lists.)
Basic Tags
(continued)
▪ You might have noticed that paragraphs
can be written without the closing tag
</p>. Don't rely on it. The next version of
HTML will not allow you to skip ANY
closing tags.
▪ HTML automatically adds an extra blank
line before and after some elements, like
before and after a paragraph, and before
and after a heading.
