HTML Tags

<html>  tells the Web browser that this is the beginning of an HTML document and the </html> tag tells the browser that the HTML file is finished. The tags with slash "/" respresent a closing tag.

Within <HTML>, the document has two sections to it: <HEAD> AND <BODY>

Tags in the Head Section

<head>...</head>

The <head> and </head> tags defines that part of the document containing information about the page.

The following tags can be added to the head section: <base>, <link>, <meta>, <script>, <style>, and <title>

<base>

The <base> tag specifies a default address or a default target for all links on a page.

<title>...</title>

The title of a webpage appears in your browser´s title bar when you view the page.

Example: <title> My first web page </title>

Structure in the head section of your HTML file:
<html>
<head>
<title>...<\title>
<\head>
Body Section
<\html>

Tags in the Body Section

<body>...</body>
The tag usually comes immediately after the tag that ended your HEAD section. The tag comes before the tag at the end of the document.


<hx>...<\hx>
These tags are used to create headings. There are six different sizes with <h1>

being the largest and <h6>being the smallest.

<h1>heading</h1> : creates heading level #1 (24 point type—largest)

<h2>heading</h2> : creates heading level #2 (18 point type)

<h3>heading</h3> : creates heading level #3 (14 point type)<h4>heading</h4> : creates heading level #4 (12 point type)

<h5>heading</h5> : creates heading level #5 (10 point type)

<h6>heading</h6&gt : creates heading level #6 (8 point type—smallest)


A line space automatically is inserted before and after a heading (that is, an entire line is skipped between a heading and any text before and after it).

<p>
This tag signals the end of one paragraph and the beginning of the next. There is supposed to be a closing tag </p>tag. One thing to keep in mind is that web browsers cannot indent the first word of a paragraph, so this tag leaves a blank space between two paragraphs; however, multiple <p> tags will NOT result in multiple blank lines. 
<br>
This tag represents a line break. It also does not have a closing tag.
<hr>
This the horizontal rule tag. It instructs the browser to insert a paragraph break into the content with a line separating the paragraphs. The browser will automatically adjust the line to fill the width of the display window.
<i> ...</i>


The text between these tags will be in italics. The <em>...</em> tag will also make the text look italic.

<b> ...</b>


The text between these tags will be bold. The <strong>...</strong> tag usually does the same thing.
