Welcome to our quick guide on HTML for English speakers. HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. It can be assisted by technologies such as CSS and JavaScript.

Basic Structure

Here is a simple example of an HTML document structure:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
    <a href="/en/html/quick_guide">Read more about HTML</a>
</body>
</html>

In this example, the <html> element is the root element of an HTML page, the <head> element contains meta-information about the document, and the <body> element contains the content of the document.

Elements

HTML elements are tags that define the structure of a webpage. For example:

  • <h1> to <h6>: Define headings.
  • <p>: Defines a paragraph.
  • <a>: Defines a hyperlink.

Attributes

Attributes provide additional information about HTML elements. For example, the href attribute of the <a> element specifies the URL of the link.

Images

To add an image to your HTML document, use the <img> element:

<img src="image_url" alt="Image description">

You can use the following link to add an image of a Golden Retriever:

<center><img src="https://cloud-image.ullrai.com/q/Golden_Retriever/" alt="Golden Retriever"/></center>
