About the article
HyperText Markup Language is a language used to create websites. It is simply a beginner's guide to web page creation. I was introduced to this programming world by my doting uncle which I found so much interest in. I am deeply rapted in this new course of life since I aspire to be a software developer and I am looking forward to doing more projects to sharpen my skills in programming.
In HTML some elements help you to create a web page. The basic structure of the web page is made up of elements like HTML, head, and body elements. The HTML element is the root element of every HTML page. The head element contains metadata about the document such as title, links to stylesheets, and scripts. The body contains the visible content of the page. There are also essential tags like the h tag for creating different levels of headings, the p tag for creating paragraphs, the a tag for creating hyperlinks to webpages or resources, the ul tag or ol tag for creating lists, and table tags like tr,td and th for creating tables to organize data.
Others include the section element which is used to define sections in a document such as chapters, headers, footers, or any other sectors of the document, the figure caption element which is used to add captions to describe the image contained within the figure element, em element which is used to emphasis on a specific word or phrase, strong element which indicates some text is of strong importance or urgent, form element which is used to get information from a user. The action attribute indicates where form data should be sent.
Input element allows you several ways to collect data from a web form. The type attribute is used to create passwords, reset buttons, or a control to let users select a file from their computer. The name attribute enables access to forms data by the location specified in the action attribute and it should be assigned a value to represent the data being submitted. The placeholder is a text used to give people a hint about what kind of information to enter into an input. The button element is used to create a clickable button. The radio buttons for questions where you want only one answer out of multiple options.
Label elements are used to help associate the text with an input element itself.id attribute is used to identify a specific HTML element. The legend element acts as a caption for the content in the fieldset element. It gives users context about what they should enter into that part of the form. Checkboxes are used for questions that may have more than one answer. The footer element is used to define a footer for a document or section. A footer typically contains information about the author of the document, copyright, data, links to terms of use, contact information, and more. The lang attribute with the value en specify's the language of the page is English.
From the knowledge garnered I have been able to create three personal web pages and I'm looking forward to getting better and even better. I am so elated and eager to learn other web development technologies like CSS and Javascript.
