Heading (Headline) Elements
(<H1>...<H6>)

Headings are used to break up your webpage into distinct, key sections (chapters).

Line Break Elements
(<br>)

Line breaks are used to break to a new line of text within a block, such as a paragraph. In Word, these would be called line breaks (Shift + Enter).

HTML Entities

Entities allow us to display special characters on our webpage. For instance, there are entities for ©, ™, ¥, and non-breaking space.

Block vs Inline Elements

Block Elements

A block element seperates itself from surrounding content, creating a space both above and below it. By default, two block elements will appear one on top of the other.

Paragraphs are block elements. Other block elements include: H1...H6, HEADER, FOOTER, P, DIV, UL, OL, LI, TABLE, SECTION, NAV, ARTICLE, ASIDE, HEADER, FOOTER, and others.

Inline (Phrase) Elements

Phrase elements are often, but not always, used within block elements. Inline elements, by default, will display side-by-side, in a line

This paragraph contains some subscript and superscript text.

Common inline elements include: SUP, SUB, A, IMG, SPAN, EM, STRONG, and others.

Semantic HTML Elements

Semantic elements have the benefit of describing the content on the HTML file.

Common semantic STRUCTURAL elements include: STRONG, EM, HEADER, FOOTER, MAIN, SECTION, ARTICLE, NAV, ASIDE, FIGURE, and FIGCAPTION.

Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks are created with anchor tags, the <A> element.

The hyperlinks above are absolute paths. If you want to visit my main index page, you can use the relative path.
