HTML Element

The HTML element consists of 3 parts.

i) Opening tag: It is used to tell the browser where the content material starts.

ii)Closing tag: It is used to tell the browser where the content material ends.

iii)Content: It is the actual content material inside the opening and closing tags.

Combining all these 3 parts results in an overall HTML Element.

<tagname > Contents... </tagname>

Tags

Tag defines that how the browser will format and display the content

<tag>

Headings:

These tags help us to give headings to the content of a webpage. These tags are mainly written inside the body tag. HTML provides us with six heading tags from <h1> to <h6>.

    <h1>Hello GeeksforGeeks</h1>
    <h2>Hello GeeksforGeeks</h2>
    <h3>Hello GeeksforGeeks</h3>
    <h4>Hello GeeksforGeeks</h4>
    <h5>Hello GeeksforGeeks</h5>
    <h6>Hello GeeksforGeeks</h6>

Paragraph:

These tags help us to write paragraph statements on a webpage. They start with the <p> tag and end with </p>.

<p>I am a paragrph.</p>

Break:

These tags are used for inserting a single line type break. It does not have any closing tag. In HTML the break tag is written as <br>.

<br>

Horizontal Line:

The <hr> tag is used to break the page into various parts, creating horizontal margins with help of a horizontal line running from the left to right-hand side of the page. This is also an empty tag and doesn’t take any additional statements.

<hr>

Span:

Span is an inline container used to mark up a part of a text, or a part of a document.

<span>This is span </span>

Anchor tag:

The <a> tag defines a hyperlink, which is used to link from one page to another, target="_blank" makes it open in new tab. The syntax is:

<a href="https://www.google.com" target="_blank" >Click for google!</a>

Images:

The image tag is used to insert an image into our web page. The source of the image to be inserted is put inside the <img src=”source_of_image“> tag. alt="xyz" is a description of the image, incase the image isn't displayed this alt is shown.

Adding CSS to HTML:

We can add CSS to HTML in three ways:

1. External - To add an external CSS file using <link> tag.

2. Internal - TO add CSS in the HTML page in the head section using <style> tag.

3. Inline - To add CSS inside the HTML tag using the style attribute.

Adding JavaScript to HTML:

Javascript is a language that is widely used for creating interactive web pages.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <script>
        alert("Hello World!");
    </script>

</body>
</html>
