Hypertext Markup Language
ℹ️ Summary
This lesson introduces you to Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). You will learn what it is, get familiar with what it means to write semantic HTML, and how to organize your code for a well-formatted page of content.
🎯 Learning Objective
The learner defines the term HTML and demonstrates writing basic HTML tags with the correct structure.
⭐️ At the end of this module, you should be able to:
- Define HTML and describe its role on a web page
- Name three different code editors and choose one that you like best
- Write comments in your HTML that do not display on a page
- Define what we mean by “accessibility”
- Organize your code in a way that shows how two elements relate to each other
💡 Tips for Success
- Read through all of the pages in the module, even if you think you already know what to do.
- Open DevTools on different web pages to see how code is formatted and whether you can spot any comments in the HTML. You can access DevTools by right-clicking on any element on a web page and choosing the “Inspect” or “Inspect Element” option.
- Pay extra close attention to the HTML you write and try to format the code in a way that shows proper parent-child element relationships.
