Firsty thank you for visiting my post. I am just trying to create some good post 🙂. I hope you like it.If there are any suggestion then it will be very helpful. I just made the very basic webpage using only HTML.
I used the basic elements :
- Nav tag
- Header tag
- Heading tag
- Paragraph tag
- Main tag
- Section tag
- Figure tag
- Image tag
- Figcaption tag
- Aside tag
- Unordered List
- Bold
- Blockquote tag
- Cite tag
- Footer tag
- Anchor tag
Uses of above tags :
Nav tag (<nav></nav>) : I used this tag to create a space for navigating website by creating links within in it. This is meant to create a seperate space for navigation. We can use any element within it.
Header tag (<header></header>) : It is used to make our code clean and so that we can seperate elements that are for heading from rest of the elements.
Heading tag (<h1></h1>) : It is for creating headings in document. Most browser displays font size for h1 as 2em.
Paragraph tag (<p></p>) : It is for adding text to the document. Default font size for p
tag is 16px.
Main tag (<main></main>) : It has no special feature. It is used to seperate dominant content from the others.
Section tag (<section></section>) : It as name suggest is used create different secions in the webpage. It act as container in which we can create other elements.
Figure tag (<figure></figure>) : I used figure tag to insert image with a caption. And we can insert caption using figcaption tag inside figure tag. We can also add diagram or code snippets in it with caption.
Image tag (<img></img>) : I used to embedd image with in the document. It has two attributes src which is to specify the source of the image and second is alt that is to specify the alternative text if in case image not displayed.
Figcaption tag (<figcaption></figcaption>) : I used it to add caption within figure tag.
Aside tag (<aside></aside>) : I am trying this element and It is useful if you want to add some information beside the main content.
Unordered List (<ul></ul>) : It is used list without any order.
Bold tag (<b></b>) : It is used to bold the text.
Blockquote tag (<blockquote></blockquote>) : It converts the normal text into quoted form.
Cite tag (<cite></cite>) : It is used to display the name of person of whose the work is.
Footer tag (<footer></footer>) : This tag is used to group all the elements which are used in bottom section of page.
Anchor tag (<a></a>) : It is used to create text that act as a link. It has href attribute which has link.
By developing this basic page I understand the basic elements more clearly and how to write code in proper way i.e. using header, main, section or footer tag.
Also there is one interesting question that what if we dont use body tag and instead use main tag ?
ANS : The tag is meant to isolate the main content from other secondary or repeated content. This distinction is important for accessibility and search engine optimization (SEO) purposes. Main tag should not contain repeated content and must focus on unique content. While body tag contains all repeating and non repeating content.
Take a look to my website screenshot :
Here's the code :
