1. Presentation to HTML
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the foundation of the web. It structures content by defining headings, paragraphs, images, and links. The browser translates HTML to show web pages.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>My First HTML Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to My Web Page</h1>
<p>HTML is like the skeleton of a website, defining what goes where.</p>
</body>
</html>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Simple HTML Structure</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
<p>This is my first HTML page.</p>
</body>
</html>
HTML Elements and Tags
HTML uses various elements like <p>, <h1>, <img>, and <a> to define the content. Tags can have attributes like src, href, and alt that provide additional details.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>HTML Elements</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>HTML Basics</h2>
<p>HTML <em>elements</em> are the building blocks of webpages. You can add links like this:
<a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank">Click here</a> to visit Example.</p>
<img src="beautiful-scenery.jpg" alt="A stunning view of mountains at sunset">
</body>
</html><!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Image Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Beautiful Landscape</h1>
<img src="landscape.jpg" alt="A beautiful landscape view" width="400">
</body>
</html>
3. HTML Lists (Ordered, Unordered, and Definition Lists)
Lists are essential for displaying data in a structured way. Ordered lists (<ol>) create numbered items, unordered lists (<ul>) create bullet points, and definition lists (<dl>) are useful for presenting terms and their definitions.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>HTML Lists</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>My Favorite Books</h2>
<ul>
<li>The Hobbit</li>
<li>1984</li>
<li>Pride and Prejudice</li>
</ul>
<h2>Steps to Bake a Cake</h2>
<ol>
<li>Preheat the oven.</li>
<li>Mix the ingredients.</li>
<li>Bake for 30 minutes.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Definitions</h2>
<dl>
<dt>HTML</dt>
<dd>The language used to structure web pages.</dd>
<dt>CSS</dt>
<dd>The style sheet language used for the presentation of a webpage.</dd>
</dl>
</body>
</html>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Simple List Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>My Favorite Fruits</h2>
<ul>
<li>Apple</li>
<li>Banana</li>
<li>Cherry</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
4. HTML Forms
Forms permit clients to yield information to the server. You can make different input fields such as text, email, passwords, and buttons, providing interaction for things like signups or search bars.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>HTML Forms</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Subscribe to Our Newsletter</h2>
<form action="/submit-newsletter" method="post">
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" required><br><br>
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" required><br><br>
<button type="submit">Subscribe</button>
</form>
</body>
</html><!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Contact Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Contact Us</h2>
<form action="/submit" method="post">
<label for="name">Name:</label>

<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" required><br><br>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
5. HTML Tables
Tables are used to organize data in rows and columns. They can be styled to display financial data, product listings, or any tabular information clearly.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>HTML Tables</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Price List</h2>
<table border="1">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Item</th>
<th>Price</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Apple</td>
<td>$1.00</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Banana</td>
<td>$0.50</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html><!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Simple Table Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Simple Table</h2>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alice</td>
<td>25</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Bob</td>
<td>30</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
6. HTML Semantics
Semantic elements such as <header>, <footer>, <article>, and <section> enhance the meaning of web content, helping both browsers and developers understand the structure of the page more easily.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>HTML Semantics</title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>My Travel Blog</h1>
</header>
<main>
<article>
<h2>Exploring the Mountains</h2>
<p>My recent trip to the mountains was an unforgettable experience.</p>
</article>
<section>
<h2>Related Posts</h2>
<ul>
<li>Top 5 Hiking Trails</li>
<li>Camping Essentials</li>
</ul>
</section>
</main>
<footer>

</footer>
</body>
</html>
7. HTML5 Multimedia (Audio, Video, and Canvas)
HTML5 introduced new multimedia elements like <video>, <audio>, and <canvas>, which allow for native embedding of media and drawing directly on the web page.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>HTML5 Multimedia</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Watch Our Latest Video</h2>
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
<h2>Canvas Drawing</h2>
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="200" height="100"></canvas>
<script>
var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
context.fillStyle = "green";
context.fillRect(10, 10, 150, 75);
</script>
</body>
</html><!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Video Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Watch This Video</h2>
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
</body>
</html>
8. Meta Tags and SEO
Meta tags provide important information about the web page to search engines. They help in ranking the page, defining its author, and setting its viewport settings for responsiveness.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta name="description" content="Learn HTML quickly with this beginner's tutorial.">
<meta name="keywords" content="HTML, tutorial, beginner">
<meta name="author" content="John Doe">
<title>Learn HTML</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Meta Tags Example</h1>
<p>This page is optimized for search engines using meta tags!</p>
</body>
</html>9. Best Practices and Accessibility
Writing clean, accessible HTML helps your content reach a wider audience. Accessibility features such as alt text, ARIA roles, and semantic HTML ensure that people with disabilities can use your site effectively.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>HTML Accessibility</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Accessible Image Example</h2>
<img src="mountain.jpg" alt="A breathtaking view of a mountain range during sunset">
<h2>Accessible Form Example</h2>
<form aria-label="Contact Form">
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" aria-label="Enter your email" required>
<button type="submit" aria-label="Submit the form">Submit</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
