Please note that this article refers to some HTML attributes that are now considered to be deprecated. However, this article may still be valuable to those looking to understand the fundamental basics of HTML, which is the premise of this article.

Basics of HTML


Learning HTML is rather simple when compared to other languages. This simplicity is due to the usage of simple English words as a building block of a HTML page. These English words are known as ‘HTML tags’ in HTML jargon. There is plethora of above said HTML tags available at your disposal. The HTML tags are normal English words, what distinguishes these html tags from rest of the document is that they are kept inside small brackets. The paragraph tag is <p> and the table tag is <table>.

Some HTML tags are employed to dictate the look and feel of a HTML document. The paragraph tag inserts a new document. See below:



While others dictate how words appear in bold. See below:


Another example is how words appear italicized. See below:


Still there are others, which provide various kinds of other functionalities. Some tags should be used in pairs i.e., every time you use a tag – say <table> - you should put an ending tag - in this case </table>. The preceding ‘/’ indicates that table is an ending.

There are few other tags that do not require the closing tag. The paragraph tag is an example for this type of tags. The majority of tags are used for appearance purpose.

Your text may look bizarre if you forget to put the preceding ‘/’ into any of the closing tags. The output you get will be different from what you have expected. Missing ‘/’ is one most of the common errors made by neophyte html coders. There are many html editors available in the market, which will do the entire messy HTML coding for you.
