HTML is the hero behind creating websites! Let’s learn five helpful HTML facts for kids.
HTML is a markup language for creating web pages. HTML creates websites by marking and describing the content on the web browser in order to show them correctly. Webpages are usually viewed in a web browser and they can include content in the form of writing, links, pictures, sound and video.
HTML can also be used to add metadata to a web page. Metadata is information about the webpage data. For example, the author of the webpage or keywords used in the webpage. Metadata makes it much easier to find and access relevant data.
HTML uses many tags in order to create a website and for this reason it is known as a tag-based language. The tags of HTML are surrounded by angular brackets. HTML tags allow the browser to know how a web page should look. An opening tag tells the browser when to start something and an ending tag tells the browser when to stop doing something. There are many HTML tags and each causes an individual outcome. Two examples of HTML Tags are <b> or <STRONG> which creates a bold text and <p> creates a paragraph.
HTML and CSS work together in order to complete a website. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets and its function is to style the content on a website. CSS designs the website by adding specific colours, fonts and backgrounds. CSS adds the aesthetics to a website, while HTML creates the structure and organises the website. A website wouldn’t be made without HTML and it wouldn’t look right without CSS.
The new main parts of a HTML is the Head and the Body. The Head contains the information about the HTML document, such as, the Title of the page, what version of HTML is used, MetaData information, author of the webpage and so on. The Body is the main part of the website and it is everything the public will be able to see on your website. Data stored in the <head> tag is hidden to the reader while the <body> tag encloses all the data which a web page has and is visible to the user.
We hope you enjoyed learning more things about HTML much as we loved teaching you about it. Now that you know how majestic this technology is, you can move on to learn about other technologies like: coding, AI, Robotics, Computer and Java.
