Q
Do’s and Don’ts
A
- The open and close tags should always match
- Proper indentation is one way to make your code clearer and easier to understand:
- Consistent quoting of strings is also helpful, in part to avoid potential problems that can arise when you think something does not need quotes but it actually does
- Don’t worry about too many white spaces
9
Q
- This tag is special. In fact, many folks don’t even consider it a tag, as it is officially the DTD - Document Type Declaration. Unlike most tags, it has no closing tag, not even a “/” at the end. It is there to declare exactly what type of HTML the computer will find in this file. It is used as that:
A
<!doctype>
10
Q
- The tag open and close tags wrap around nearly everything in your html file (except the doctype tag). This essentially contains all of the HTML code in the file, which is generally everything (one big html element).
A
<html>
</html>

Q
- The element is where you put information that does not really appear in the body of the work.
A
<head>
</head>
12
Q

A
<body>
</body>
13
Q
- There is a whole collection of ‘h’ tags, <h1>, <h2>, <h3> . . . all the way up to <h6>. Why there are 6 rather than 5 or 7 may be a bit of a mystery, but there it is.
A
<h1>
</h1>
14
Q

information.
A
<p>
</p>
15
Q

A
