HTML Basic Examples


Don't worry if these examples use tags you have not learned.

You will learn about them in the next chapters.


HTML Documents

All HTML documents must start with a type declaration: <!DOCTYPE html>.

The HTML document itself begins with <html> and ends with </html>.

The visible part of the HTML document is between <body> and </body>.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Heading</h1>

<p>My first paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

The link's destination is specified in the href attribute. 

Attributes are used to provide additional information about HTML elements.


HTML Images

HTML images are defined with the <img> tag.

The source file (src), alternative text (alt), and size (width and height) are provided as attributes:

Example

<img src="w3ii.jpg" alt="w3ii.com" width="104" height="142">
