HTML Elements and attributes

HTML elements

start Tag *	element Content	End tag *
<p>	This is a paragraph	</p>
<a href="default.htm">	This is a link	</a>
<br/>

The start tag is often referred to as the start tag (opening tag), and the end tag is often called a closed tag (closing tag).

HTML element syntax

• HTML element to start tag starting
• HTML element terminated with end tag
• The content of an element is the content between the start tag and the end tag
• Some HTML elements have blank content (empty contents)
• Empty elements are closed in the start tag (ending with the end of the start tag)
• Most HTML elements can have properties

HTML Properties

• HTML elements can set properties
• property to add additional information to the element
• Properties are generally described in the start tag
• A property is always in the form of a name/value pair, such as: name= "value".

HTML Properties Common Reference property values

Property values should always be included in quotation marks.

Double quotes are the most common, but there is no problem with single quotes.

tip: In some individual cases, such as the attribute value itself contains double quotes, then you must use single quotation marks,

For example: Name= ' John ' shotgun ' Nelson '

HTML hint: Use lowercase attributes

Property and property values are not case sensitive.

However, the World Wide Web Consortium recommends lowercase attribute/attribute values in its HTML 4 recommendation standard.

The new version of (X) HTML requires the use of lowercase attributes.
