Lesson 2: HTML Elements

Common HTML Elements

HTML uses various elements to structure content. Here are some common elements:

Headings

Headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags. <h1> is the largest, and <h6> is the smallest.

<h1>This is a Heading 1</h1>
<h2>This is a Heading 2</h2>
<h3>This is a Heading 3</h3>
                

Paragraphs

Paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag. They are used to separate blocks of text.

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
                

Links

Links are created using the <a> tag. You can specify the destination using the href attribute.

<a href="https://www.example.com">Visit Example.com</a>
                

Images

Images are included using the <img> tag. The src attribute specifies the image source, and the alt attribute provides alternative text.

<img src="image.jpg" alt="Description of Image">
