What I have learn and need to remember from chapters 1-6!

HTML is used to define content’s meaning, and CSS is used to define how content and Webpage will look.HTML has three principal markup components: elements, attributes, and values.
Elements are like little labels that describe the different parts of a Web page.
Attributes contain information about the content in the document, as opposed to being content itself.
Uniform Resource Locator, or URL, It contains information about where a file is and what a browser should do with it. The first part of the URL is called the scheme.  The second part of the URL is the name of the server where the file is located, followed by the path that leads to the file.

To start an HTML5 page:
1. Type <!DOCTYPE html>
2. Type <html lang="language-code">, where language-code is the language code that matches the default language of page’s content
3. Type <head> to begin the document head of page.
4. Type <meta charset="UTF-8" /> to declare the character encoding of your document as UTF-8.
5. Type <title></title>. This will contain a page’s title.
6. Type </head> to end the document head of page.
7. Type <body> to start the body of my page. This is where the content will go (eventually).
8. Leave a few blank lines for creating a page content
9. Type </body> to end the body.
10. Type </html> to end my page

The document head is where I define the title of page.
The body element encloses my page’s content, including text, images, forms, and anything else.
Creating Headings
HTML provides six heading levels for establishing the hierarchy of information in pages. Mark up each heading with one of the h1h6 elements, where h1 is a top-level heading, h2 is a subheading of an h1, and h3 is a subheading of an h2.

To group two or more headings:
1. Type <hgroup>.
2. Type <hn>, where n is a number from 1 to 6, depending on the level of importance of the heading that I want to create.
3. Type the contents of the header.
4. Type </hn> where n is the same number used in step 2.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for as many headings as I want to be part of the hgroup.
6. Type </hgroup>.

To designate a group of links as important navigation:
1. Type <nav>.
2. Type list of links structured as a ul (unordered list) unless the order of the links is significant, in which case should structure them as an ol (ordered list).
3. Type </nav>.

The article element represents a self-contained composition in a document, page, application, or site.
To create an article:
1. Type <article>.
2. Type the article’s contents, which could include any number of elements, such as paragraphs, lists, audio, video, images, figures, and more. 3. Type </article>.

To define a section:
1. Type <section>.
2. Type the section’s contents, which could include any number of elements, such as paragraphs, lists, audio, video,images, figures, and more.
3. Type </section>.


To add a comment to HTML page:
1. In your HTML document, where I wish to insert a comment, type <!--.
2. Type the comments.
3. Type --> to complete the commented text.

To begin a new paragraph:
1. Type <p>.
2. Type the contents of the new paragraph.
3. Type </p> to end the paragraph.

If want to provide author contact information for the page:

3. Type the author’s email address, a link to a page with contact information, and so on.
4. Type </address>.

2. Type the term you wish to define.

6factors to remember when create a webpage: Format, color, size and resolution, speed, transparency and resolution.

To insert an image on a page:
1. Place the cursor in the HTML code where I want the image to appear.
2. Type <img src="image.url", where image.url indicates the location of the image file on the server.
3. Type a space and then the final />.



To offer alternate text when images don’t appear:
1. Within the img tag, after the src attribute and value, type alt=".
2. Type the text that should appear if, for some reason, the image itself does not

A link has 2 main parts: the destination and the link.
