Reference

HTML <!DOCTYPE> Declaration
● The doctype declaration should be the very
first thing in an HTML document, before the
<html> tag.
● The doctype declaration is not an HTML tag; it
is an instruction to the web browser about
what version of the markup language the page
is written in.
● The doctype declaration refers to a Document
Type Definition (DTD). The DTD specifies the
rules for the markup language, so that the
browsers render the content correctly.
Example :
HTML <html> Tag
The <html> tag tells the browser that this is
an HTML document.
The html element is the outermost element in
HTML.
HTML <body> Tag
● The body element defines the document's
body.
● The body element contains all the contents of
an HTML document, such as text, hyperlinks,
images, tables, lists, etc.
Optional Attributes

HTML <h1> to <h6> Tags
● The <h1> to <h6> tags are used to define
HTML headings.
● <h1> defines the most important heading.
<h6> defines the least important heading.
Optional & Standard
Attributes
HTML <p> Tag
● The <p> tag defines a paragraph.
● The p element automatically creates some
space before and after itself. The space is
automatically applied by the browser, or you
can specify it in a style sheet.
Optional & Standard
Attributes
HTML <br> Tag
● The <br> tag inserts a single line break.
● The <br> tag is an empty tag which means
that it has no end tag.
HTML <hr> Tag
● The <hr> tag creates a horizontal line in an
HTML page.
● The hr element can be used to separate
content in an HTML page.
Optional & Standard
Attributes
HTML <!--...--> Tag
The comment tag is used to insert a comment in
the source code. A comment will be ignored by the
browser. You can use comments to explain your
code, which can help you when you edit the source
code at a later date.
You can also store program-specific information
inside comments. In this case they will not be
visible for the user, but they are still available to
the program. A good practice is to comment the
text inside scripts and style elements to prevent
older browsers, that do not support scripting or
styles, from showing it as plain text.
The comment tag does not support any standard
