Introduction:
Remember the magic trick of turning words into webpages with HTML in the last lesson? Today, we delve deeper into the toolbox, exploring the specific elements and tags that bring your content to life! Think of elements like bricks and tags like the instructions on how to arrange them, building beautiful and functional webpages.
i. Text Formatting Toolbox:
Want to make your text stand out? HTML has tags for that! Use <b> for bold text, <i> for italics, and <u> for underlining. You can even change the font size with <font size=5> (bigger) or <font size=2> (smaller). Remember, closing tags like </b> are like ending your instructions, telling the computer to stop formatting.
ii. Headings and Paragraphs:
Organize your content with style! Use <h1> for the main heading, like a chapter title, and <h2> for subheadings. Then, use <p> to start a new paragraph, making your text look neat and readable. Each element has its own tag, helping the computer understand and display your content correctly.
iii. Image Magic:
Want to show off pictures on your page? Use the <img> tag! Just add the image source (like a website address) inside the tag, and voila, your picture appears! You can even adjust the size with <img width="200" height="150">. Remember, images add visual interest and break up text, making your page more engaging.
iv. Links, Links, Everywhere!
Connect your pages and explore the web with the power of links! Use <a href="yourpage.html"> to create a link, then add the text people click on, like "Click here to see more!". Closing the tag with </a> completes your link, inviting users to visit another page or website.
With this toolkit of tags under your belt, you're well on your way to building amazing webpages! Remember, each element and tag has a purpose, shaping your content and enhancing the user experience. Keep practicing, experiment with different tags, and watch your vision transform into real, interactive webpages. The internet awaits your creations!
