In this short HTML tutorial, I explain the basic structure of an HTML webpage and introduce some important tags.
Watch Learn HTML in 12 Minutes on YouTube
This directory contains the source code from the tutorial. webpage.html is the source code from the video. webpage-html5.html is the same webpage but updated to follow HTML5 standards. Note the following differences:
- The file must start with the HTML5 doctype
<!DOCTYPE html>, <hr />,<br />, and<img /> tags are no longer "self-closing" so do not include the forward slash/, and- The
<img>tag must include analtattribute to specify alternative text if the image cannot be displayed.
