I present to you - The HTML Cheatsheet 💪
What is a syntax?
All languages have a syntax. English, Urdu, HTML, JavaScript all have a syntax. In English, we learn when to write commas, full-stops, paragraphs etc. Similarly there are syntax rules for HTML.
HTML is a markup language that has ONLY one thing - Elements. HTML is a collection of elements. A combination of elements are used to build a webpage.
Rules of writing HTML Elements
1. All elements have have an opening tag
<openingtag>
2. The Opening tag has the name of the element <elementname>
3. All elements close.
4. Either elements self-close <elementname />
5. or they close via a closing tag
<elementname> // Opening tag
</elementname> // closing tag
6. Elements optionally have attributes and attributes have value
<element att="value">
7. Elements optionally have children between the opening and closing tag
<elementname>
children
</elementname>
These children can either be more elements or simply plain text
<elementname>
<second>
children of second element
</second>
<third>
children of third element
</third>
</elementname>
