<h1>Conversations</h1>

Q

Line Break Element
<br></br> or <br></br>

If one wants to modify the spacing in the browser, they add the line break element. Multiple line breaks next to each other will be how many times the text after that will move down

17
Q

Unordered Lists

<ul></ul>

A

Outlines individual list items with a bullet point. Individual list items must be added to the unordered list using the <li> tag.

18
Q

Individual List

<li></li>

A

The <li> or list item tag is used to describe an item in a list. It is for unordered and ordered lists.

19
Q

Ordered Lists

<ol></ol>

A

Like unordered lists, except that each list item is numbered. Individual list items must be added to the ordered list using the <li> tag.

20
Q

Self Closing Tags

A

Tags that don’t have an opening AND closing tag. They are like opening and closing tags combined and have the slash at the end of the tag. These tags are for tags that don’t have any content within them.
Ex: <img></img> or <br></br>

21
Q

Image Tag
<img></img> or <img></img>

A

Used for inputting images on the webpage. The <img></img> tag has a required attribute called src or source.

22
Q

Source Attribute
src=”–”

A

Used for the <img></img> tag and must contain the URL of the image for it to be shown on the webpage.

23
Q

Alt Attribute

A

Alt means alternative text. It brings meaning to the images on our sites. The alt attribute can be added to the image tag just like the src attribute. The value of alt should be a description of the image.

24
Q

Video Tag

<video></video>

A

Inputs videos on the webpage. The <video> tag requires a src attribute with a link to the video source. After the src attribute, the width and height attributes are used to set the size of the video displayed in the browser. The controls attribute instructs the browser to include basic video controls such as pausing and playing. The reason why it is not a self closing tag like the <img></img> tag is because you're supposed to add the text, "Video not supported", which will only be displayed if the browser is unable to load the video. It will be between the opening and closing video tags, making it not a self closing tag.</video>
