Session: 1
What is HTML?

HTML is a markup language for describing web documents (web pages).
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
A markup language is a set of Markup tags
HTML documents are described by HTML tags
Each HTML tag describes different document content

HTML EXAMPLE:
A small HTML document:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>

Example Explained:[/b]

The DOCTYPE declaration defines the document type to be HTML

The text between <html> and </html> describes an HTML document
The text between <head> and </head> provides information about the document
The text between <title> and </title> provides a title for the document
The text between <body> and </body> describes the visible page content
The text between <h1> and </h1> describes a heading
The text between <p> and </p> describes a paragraph

Using this description, a web browser can display a document with a heading and a paragraph.

[i]HTML Tags:

HTML tags are keywords (tag names) surrounded by angle brackets:

<tagname>content</tagname>
HTML tags normally come in pairs like <p> and </p>
The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
The end tag is written like the start tag, but with a slash before the tag name

>>> The start tag is often called the opening tag. The end tag is often called the closing tag.

WEB BROWSERS:

The purpose of a web browser (Chrome, IE, Firefox, Safari) is to read HTML documents and display them.
>>> Only the <body> area </body> is displayed by the browser.


The <!DOCTYPE> Declaration:

The <!DOCTYPE> declaration helps the browser to display a web page correctly.
There are different document types on the web.
To display a document correctly, the browser must know both type and version.
The doctype declaration is not case sensitive. All cases are acceptable:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<!doctype html>
<!Doctype Html>

Common Declarations:

Session 2 : HTML Editors:

>>> Write HTML Using Notepad or TextEdit

.HTML can be edited by using professional HTML editors like:
.Microsoft WebMatrix
.Sublime Text

However, for learning HTML we recommend a text editor like Notepad (PC) or TextEdit (Mac).
We believe using a simple text editor is a good way to learn HTML.
Follow the 4 steps below to create your first web page with Notepad.

Step 1: Open Notepad
To open Notepad in Windows 7 or earlier:
Click Start (bottom left on your screen). Click All Programs. Click Accessories. Click Notepad.
To open Notepad in Windows 8 or later:
Open the Start Screen (the window symbol at the bottom left on your screen). Type Notepad.

Step 2: Write Some HTML
Write or copy some HTML into Notepad. :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>

Step 3: Save the HTML Page
Save the file on your computer.
Select File > Save as in the Notepad menu.
Name the file "index.html" or any other name ending with html or htm.
UTF-8 is the preferred encoding for HTML files.
ANSI encoding covers US and Western European characters only.

>>> You can use either .htm or .html as file extension. There is no difference, it is up to you.

>>> To open a file in a browser, double click on the file, or right-click, and choose open with.
