HTML coding for kids chapter 1 basic concept
What is HTML?
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. Developed by scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1990, HTML is the “hidden” code that helps us communicate with others on the World Wide Web (WWW).
- The <!DOCTYPE html>declaration defines that this document is
- an HTML5 document
- The <html>element is the root element of an HTML page
- The <head>element contains meta-information about the HTML page
- The <title>element specifies a title for the HTML page
- (which is shown in the browser’s title bar or in the page’s tab)
- The <body>element defines the document’s body and is a container for all the visible contents, such as headings, paragraphs, images, hyperlinks, tables, lists, etc.
- The <h1>element defines a large heading
- The <p>element defines a paragraph
- <li> element is used to represent an item in a list. It must be contained in a parent element: an ordered list
Text editors
To achieve a similar layout in a browser, you use a text editor. This is where you put all your code and content. For the PC, it’s Notepad; for the MAC it’s TextEd it.
