HTML Tutorial For Beginners (With Notes) | Chapter 1

We start building a website by creating a file named index.html, index.html is a special filename which is presented when the website root address is typed.

A Basic HTML Page

<html>	root of an HTML page
<head>	Contains page metadata
<title>FlowInCode</title>	Contains Title
</head>	Closing Head
<body>	The main body of the page (rendered by the browser))
<h1>This is a heading </h1>	Heading tag
<p> My paragraph </p> →	Paragraph tag

</html>	→

A tag is like a container for either content or other HTML tags.

HTML Document → Browser → Rendered Page

Important Notes

Head & Body tags are children of HTML tags.
HTML is the parent of Head & Body tags.
Most of the HTML element's have opening & closing tag with content in between opening & closing tags.
Some HTML tags have no Content. These are called Empty elements eg:- <br>
We can either use .htm or .html extension
You can use "Inspect Element" or "View Page Source" option from chrome to look into a website's HTML Code.

HTML element = Start tag + Content + End Tag

Comments in HTML

Comments is HTML are used to mark text which should not be passed. They can help document the source code.

< ! ---HTML Comment -->

Case Sensitivity

HTML is a case insensitive language <H1> & <h1> tags are the same.
