Html Basics

                       HTML BASICS 
HTML ( Hyper Text Markup Language) is the code that is used to structure a web page and its content.

For example, content could be structured within a set of paragraphs, a list of bulleted points, or using images and data tables. As the title suggests, this article will give you a basic understanding of HTML and its functions.

                      SO WHAT IS HTML?
HTML is a markup language that defines the structure of your content. HTML consists of a series of elements,

which you use to enclose, or wrap, different parts of the content to make it appear a certain way, or act.

            ANATOMY OF AN ELEMENT
The main part of our elements are as follows;

The opening tag: This consists of the name of the element ( in this case, p), wrapped in opening and closing angle brackets. This states where the element begins or starts to take effect in this case where the paregraph begins.
The closing tag: This is the same as the opening tag, except that it includes a forward slash before the element ends in this case, where the paragraph ends. Failing to add closing tag is one of the standard beginner errors and can lead to strange results.
The content: This is the content of the element, which in this case is just text.
The element: The opening tag, the closing tag, and the content all together comprise the element.

 ATTRIBUTES OF AN ELEMENT
```
Attributes contain extra information about the element that you dont want to appear in the actual content.

An attribute should always have the following content;

A space between it and the element name.
The attribute name followed by an equal sign.
The attribute value wrapped by opening and closing quotation marks.
