Understanding the basic structure of an HTML document
here's a brief overview of the basic structure of an HTML document: + `<!DOCTYPE html>`: This is the document type declaration, which tells the web browser which version of HTML the document is written in. For HTML5, this should always be the first line of your document. + `<html>`: The `<html>` tag is used to define the beginning and end of the HTML document. All the content of the document should be enclosed within these tags. + `<head>`: The `<head>` tag contains meta-information about the document such as the title of the page, links to CSS stylesheets, and other metadata that is not displayed in the browser. + `<title>`: The `<title>` tag is used to define the title of the document. This title appears in the browser's title bar and is also used by search engines to describe the page. + `<body>`: The `<body>` tag is used to define the main content of the document. This is where you put all of the visible content that will be displayed in the browser. + `<h1>`, `<h2>`, `<h3>`, `<h4>`, `<h5>`, `<h6>`: These are the heading tags, which are used to define headings and subheadings within the document. `<h1>` is the largest heading and `<h6>` is the smallest. + `<p>`: The `<p>` tag is used to define paragraphs of text. + `<a>`: The `<a>` tag is used to create hyperlinks to other web pages or other sections within the same document. + `<img>`: The `<img>` tag is used to insert images into the document. + `<ul>` and `<li>`: These are the unordered list and list item tags, respectively. They are used to create bulleted lists. + `<ol>` and `<li>`: These are the ordered list and list item tags, respectively. They are used to create numbered lists. + `<div>`: The `<div>` tag is used to group related elements in the document. It is often used in conjunction with CSS to apply styles to a group of elements. That's a quick overview of the basic structure of an HTML document. Keep in mind that there are many more tags and attributes available in HTML, but these are some of the most commonly used ones. ```html <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>My first HTML document</title> </head> <body> <h1>Welcome to my website!</h1> <p>This is my first HTML document. I'm so excited to learn more about web development!</p> <ul> <li>Item 1</li> <li>Item 2</li> <li>Item 3</li> </ul> </body> </html> ``` If you have any questions, don't hesitate to leave them in the comments or in the chat.
