Unit 1: HTML Basics

Learn the fundamental concepts and structure of HTML documents.

What is HTML?

Understand the purpose and role of HTML in web development.

Markup Language Structure Content
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language for creating web pages. It describes the structure and content of a document using elements and tags, forming the backbone of all websites.
<!-- HTML defines the structure and content -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>My First Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Welcome to HTML!</h1>
  <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
</body>
</html>
Browser Output:

Welcome to HTML!

This is a paragraph of text.

HTML Document Structure

Learn the essential components that make up every HTML document.

Document Structure:
• DOCTYPE declaration: Tells the browser which HTML version to use
• HTML element: Root element that contains all page content
• Head section: Contains metadata and page information
• Body section: Contains the visible page content
Key Components:
The head contains meta information like character encoding, viewport settings, and page title. The body contains all visible content including text, images, links, and other elements that users interact with.

Tags and Elements

Understand the building blocks of HTML: tags, elements, and their relationships.

HTML Elements Anatomy:
• Opening tag: <tagname>
• Content: Text or other elements
• Closing tag: </tagname>
• Self-closing: <tagname /> (for void elements)
<!-- Element with content -->
<p>This is a paragraph element</p>

<!-- Self-closing element -->
<img src="image.jpg" alt="Description" />

<!-- Nested elements -->
<div>
  <h2>Section Title</h2>
  <p>Section content</p>
</div>

Unit 2: Text Elements

Master HTML elements for text content, headings, and paragraphs.

Headings (h1-h6)

Create hierarchical content structure using heading elements.

h1 h2 h3 Hierarchy
Headings create a hierarchical structure for your content. Use h1 for main titles, h2 for major sections, h3 for subsections, and so on. Proper heading structure improves accessibility and SEO.
<h1>Main Page Title</h1>
<h2>Section Heading</h2>
  <h3>Subsection</h3>
  <h3>Another Subsection</h3>
<h2>Another Section</h2>
  <h3>Subsection</h3>
    <h4>Sub-subsection</h4>
Browser Output:

Main Page Title

Section Heading

Subsection

Another Subsection

Another Section

Text Formatting

Apply various text formatting options to emphasize and style content.

Text Formatting Elements:
• <strong>: Important text (bold by default)
• <em>: Emphasized text (italic by default)
• <mark>: Highlighted text
• <small>: Smaller text
• <del>: Deleted text
• <ins>: Inserted text
<p>This is <strong>important</strong> text.</p>
<p>This is <em>emphasized</em> text.</p>
<p>This is <mark>highlighted</mark> text.</p>
<p>H<sub>2</sub>O and E=mc<sup>2</sup></p>
