HTML is easy. Really. That is the reason why it is so popular. When done well HTML tags define elements of a document. Elements can also have attributes. Let’s look at some code;
<p> This is a paragraph and is defined as such by the p tag </p>See those tags with the p, the p is the tag or element. They are used to define parts of a document. Tags can also have attributes.
<a href='http://ThisIsaURL.com'>Text to click</a>In the above example the a is the element and the a means anchor. href is an attribute and defines a value associated with the element.
That is it. It really is that easy – of course, you will be spending some time learning all the incredible number of elements that are out there. But if you understand the concept of elements and attributes you pretty much understand the html language and it is now just a matter of learning the words (available elements and attributes) of the language.
