[!] [=title "Rolling Tags List"] [=content-]

This is a rolling list of the HTML tags we've covered in class.

For more detail, check out W3Schools - they have pretty complete writeups on all of the basic tags.

H1 Heading

H2 Subheading

Don't Forget...

  1. HTML tags start with a less than sign (<).
  2. The name of an html tag immediately follows: <tag_name
  3. Optional properties follow (like href, src, etc): <tag_name thingy="something" otherthingy="something else"
  4. HTML tags that cannot accept content - like line breaks or images - end with />, signifying that they end immediately.
  5. HTML tags that can have content - like italics, bolds, headers, links, etc - end with just a greater than sign, >
  6. If the tag has content, that follows, like <tag_name thingy="something" otherthingy="something else"> Content "inside" the tag
  7. Finally, if the tag has content, the closing pattern follows - something like </tag_name>

So the two ways an HTML tag can look are:
(without content) <tag_name thingy="something" otherthingy="something else" />
(with content) <tag_name thingy="something" otherthingy="something else"> ... content ... </tag_name>
Memorize these patterns! They are pretty important!
