You've had a good overview of four basic examples of HTML tags: HTML headings, HTML paragraphs, HTML links, and HTML images. These tags are the most commonly used base elements when building web pages. Below I will explain each example further and give some additional information and best practices.
HTML Title
HTML headings are passed through the<h1>
until (a time)<h6>
Tag definitions, where<h1>
is the highest level of heading and is usually used for the main heading, while the<h6>
are the lowest level headings and are often used for less important subheadings. These tags not only provide a visual hierarchy of importance to the text, but also help search engines understand the structure of the page.
best practice:
- Always use title tags to structure your content.
- Make sure each page has a
<h1>
tag, which serves as the main title of the page. - utilization
<h2>
until (a time)<h6>
tags to create subheadings, keeping the content logical and readable.
HTML paragraph
HTML paragraphs are passed through the<p>
Label Definition. Each<p>
The content within a tag is treated as a separate paragraph, and browsers automatically add some vertical spacing between paragraphs.
best practice:
- utilization
<p>
tag to define a text paragraph. - Avoidance of
<p>
Nested block-level elements within tags (e.g.<div>
、<h1>
etc.), unless there is a specific layout requirement.
HTML Links
The HTML link is passed through the<a>
Tag definition.href
attribute specifies the destination URL of the link. the link can be text, an image, or another element.
best practice:
- Make sure the text description of the link is clear so that the user knows where to jump to when they click on it.
- utilization
target="_blank"
attribute (use with caution) opens the link in a new window, especially if the link points to an external site. - Check the validity of links to avoid dead links.
HTML images
HTML images are passed through the<img>
Tag definition.src
attribute specifies the path to the image file.width
cap (a poem)height
attributes define the width and height of the image, respectively (optional).
best practice:
- Use relative paths for images wherever possible to improve the portability of your site.
- exist
<img>
Use on labelsalt
attribute to provide alternative text for images, which is important for search engine optimization (SEO) and visually impaired users. - Optimize images to reduce file size and increase page load speed by considering image size and load time.
Try it for yourself.
The best way to really get a handle on these HTML tags is to practice them yourself. You can use any text editor (such as Notepad, TextEdit, or a more advanced IDE) to write HTML code and view the results in a browser. As you continue to learn and practice, you will be able to create more complex and dynamic web pages.
