Introduction to HTML Structuring
HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the standard language for creating web pages.
It describes the structure of a web page using markup. HTML elements are represented by tags.
Basics of HTML Tags
HTML tags denote different parts of the document.
For instance, <h1> to <h6> tags are used for headings, with <h1> being the most important heading and <h6> the least.
Paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag. Line breaks can be inserted with the <br> tag.
Nesting and Hierarchy
HTML elements can be nested, meaning elements can contain other elements.
Example of Nesting
For example, a list item can contain a link: <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
A web page may also have a hierarchical structure, with the <body> tag containing all visible content, and nested tags within it defining that content.
Importance of Semantics
Using appropriate HTML tags is important for both accessibility and SEO.
Semantically Meaningful HTML
Using semantic tags such as <article>, <section>, and <nav> can help search engines and screen readers understand the structure of your content.
