While some tags have a very specific purpose, such as image and video tags, most tags are used to describe the content that they surround, which helps us modify and style our content later. There are seemingly infinite numbers of tags to use (many more than we’ve taught). Knowing when to use each one is based on how you want to describe the content of your HTML. Descriptive, well-chosen tags are one key to high-quality web development. A full list of available HTML tags can be found here.
You now know all of the basic elements you need to structure an HTML page and add different types of content. Very soon you’ll be creating beautiful websites!
Let’s review what you’ve learned in this lesson:
- Headings and sub-headings,
<h1>to<h6>tags, are used to enlarge text. <p>,<span>and<div>tags specify text or blocks.- The
<em>and<strong>tags are used to emphasize text. - Line breaks are created with the
<br>tag. - Ordered lists (
<ol>) are numbered and unordered lists (<ul>) are bulleted. - Images (
<img>) and videos (<video>) can be added by linking to an existing source. - Anchor tags (
<a>) are used to link to internal pages, external pages or content on the same page. - You can create sections on a webpage and jump to them using
<a>tags and addingsids to the elements you wish to jump to. - The
navelement contains links to internal pages or content.
