    • These are placed within the opening tag.

Basic HTML

You’ll need to know these by heart. Note the property/value pairs in some HTML tags are called attributes.

  • HTML <html></html>
  • Head <head></head>
    • <link href=”” rel=”” />
    • CSS: <link href=”main.css” rel=”stylesheet” />
      • If including a font style sheet, have it first, so main stylesheet has access to font.
      • The lower down the header the CSS file, the higher its precedence (importance).
  • Body <body></body>
  • Div <div></div> – Groups portions of the page together.
  • Headings <h1>
  • Paragraphs <p></p>
  • Links <a href=””></a>
  • Images <img src=””>
  • Lists <ul></ul>
    • List Items <li></li>
