HTML TAGS
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<p>HTML is nothing but text with formatting.</p>
- HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.
- It is nothing more than “plain text with formatting”.
- E.G.
<h1>
marks a heading,<p>
marks a paragraph. - HTML tags should be in small letters –
<h1><p>
. - Capital letters work but do not conform to coding standards…
OPENING & CLOSING TAGS
- Tags usually come in pairs.
<h1><p>
is called the “starting/opening tag”, marking where the heading/paragraph begins.</h1></p>
is called the “ending/closing tag”, marking where the heading/paragraph ends.
SELF-CLOSING TAGS
