HTML Mindmap

1. What is HTML?

   • HyperText Markup Language is what enables the browser to identify how to display text or graphics on a web page
   • HTML is made up of tags. < >
     • The angle brackets form a start and end tag.
   • The words inside the brackets are called elements.
     • Elements can be titles or headings.
   • There are two types of tags that are used in HTML.
     • Container tags come in twos. One at the start and one at the end. <title> </title>
     • Empty tags stand on their own. <br>
     • HTML can be written in capital or lower case letters because both will be recognized by the computer.
     • At first glance HTML can look confusing but it is all structured inside tags.

2. Understanding the language.

   • HTML divides a web page into two different sections.
     • The head <head> <title></title> </head>
     • The body. <body> </body> </html>

3. Why is it used?

   • Most text inside the head tag cannot be seen by the user.
   • The title will be the name of the page displayed in the browser, but it is also possible to add in metadata.
   • Metadata is normally a list of keywords used by search engines to find relevant websites.

4. Inside the body of the text.

   • The text inside the body is seen on the web page.
   • To make text bigger we use headings <h1> to <h6>. The biggest is <h1>
   • <p> starts a new paragraph and </p> ends the paragraph.
