It’s time to review what we have learned so far.

Angled brackets < and > surround HTML tags. The words between the angle brackets are called elements.

There are two kinds of tags:

  • container tags come in sets with a beginning and an end
  • empty tags stand alone

All HTML documents should have the primary tags:

  • <html>…</html> HTML file tag
  • <head>…</head> General information tag
  • <title>…</title> Title tag
  • <body>…</body> Body tag

Headlines come in six sizes: <h1> being the largest and <h6> being the smallest.

To create space between paragraphs use the container paragraph tag:

  • <p>…</p>

To create a line break use the empty break tag:

  • <br>

To make a line use the empty horizontal rule tag:

  • <hr>

Lists are usually numbered or bulleted. HTML lists are nested with the listed item tag nested within the ordered or unordered container tag:

  • <ol>…</ol> Ordered list tag
  • <ul>…</ul> Unordered list tag
  • <li>…</li> Listed items tag
