HTML Documents
All HTML documents must start with a document type declaration: <!DOCTYPE html>
.
The HTML document itself begins with <html>
and ends with </html>
.
The visible part of the HTML document is between <body>
and </body>
.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
The <!DOCTYPE> Declaration
The <!DOCTYPE>
declaration represents the document type, and helps browsers to display web pages correctly.
It must only appear once, at the top of the page (before any HTML tags).
The <!DOCTYPE>
declaration is not case sensitive.
The <!DOCTYPE>
declaration for HTML5 is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
HTML Headings
HTML headings are defined with the <h1>
to <h6>
tags.
<h1>
defines the most important heading. <h6>
defines the least important heading:
Example
<h1>This is heading 1</h1>
<h2>This is heading 2</h2>
<h3>This is heading 3</h3>
HTML Paragraphs
HTML paragraphs are defined with the <p>
tag:
Example
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph.</p>
HTML Links
HTML links are defined with the <a>
tag:
Example
<a href="https://www.w3schools.com">This is a link</a>
The link's destination is specified in the href
attribute.
Attributes are used to provide additional information about HTML elements.
You will learn more about attributes in a later chapter.
