What is HTML Code?
HyperText Markup Language or HTML is a type of coding language used to create web pages. HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML pages. They are represented by tags, which are enclosed in angle brackets. HTML tags label pieces of content such as “title,” “body,” “paragraph,” etc. HTML elements can also contain attributes that provide additional information about the element.
HTML elements are sections of an HTML document. Some HTML elements represent visible components on a web page, such as text, images, or buttons, while others denote different sections of the page or provide meta-information about the document.
Here is an example of some HTML tags for a webpage:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Webpage Name</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>Other External Elements
In addition to using HTML in your website builder, you can also add other types of code for external elements to your website such as CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and JavaScript.
CSS is a style sheet coding language used for the design and layout of web pages. It defines the appearance and formatting of HTML elements on a web page such as text, tables, and others separately from the content itself. This means that you can create a uniform look across your entire website instead of formatting the appearance of each table and block of text in a webpage’s HTML code.
JavaScript is a scripting language that is used to create interactive web pages. Scripting languages are often used for tasks such as automating repetitive tasks, manipulating data, and creating simple applications.
In the case of JavaScript, it can be used to create interactive elements that make web pages more engaging and user-friendly. Some examples include pop-up windows when a user clicks on a button or link or to drop-down menus.
Style Sheet Language
A style sheet language is a type of coding language used to format a webpage. It separates the page’s content from appearance to making it easier to change the look of a webpage without changing the content.
For example, instead of changing the HTML code for each element on a page that is text and image heavy you can use a CSS style sheet to change the text font and resize the images separately. Using a style sheet makes it easier to update and maintain a uniform for webpages across a site, especially if you have multiple pages.
