HTML Basics and Tags
Here we will be discussing the basic HTML Tags. Adobe DreamWeaver CC latest version can be used for running or developing the examples taught in this course.
The elements (html, head, title, body) make up the core elements of a web page. These are the compulsory elements required in any webpage.
html - Paired Element (Marks the start and end of the web page.)
head - Paired Element. All the style sheets, scripts, meta information and title make up the head container element. You will find
tags <link>,<script>, <meta>, and <title> in this element.
title - Paired Element. You can see information given in title as the title of your web page.
body - Paired Element. It contains all the contents of the HTML document like links, images, tables, lists, etc.
<html><head><title>Hello World</title></head><body></body></html>
Container Elements exist in pair and are shown in following example code. They are also known as inline elements.
<b> </b> bolds the text inside these tags.
<i> </i> Make the text written in italics

Examples of these tags are <br> , <hr>.
<br> acts as a new line feed.
