Lesson 3 - HTML
WHAT IS HTML?
1. Maintainability
easier to update and change than web pages that contain a great deal of presentation markup
2. Performance
quicker to author and faster to download.
3. Accessibility
Not all web users are able to view the content on web pages. Users with sight disabilities
experience the web using voice reading software.
Visiting a web page using voice reading software can be a very frustrating experience if the
site does not use semantic markup.
As well, many governments insist that sites for organizations that receive federal government
funding must adhere to certain accessibility guidelines.
4. Search Engine Optimization
the most important users of a website are the various search engine crawlers. These crawlers
are automated programs that cross the web scanning sites for their content, which is then
used for users' search queries. Semantic markup provides better instructions for these
crawlers: it tells them what things are important content on the site.
Structure of HTML Documents
The element
is used to provide a broad description of the content.
The title is not displayed within the browser window.
displayed by the browser in its window and/or tab
The title has some additional uses that are also important to
know.
used by the browser for its bookmarks and its browser history
list.
DOCTYPE (Document Type Definition) element
The element
is sometimes called the root element as it contains all the other
HTML elements in the document.
Notice that it also has a lang attribute.
This optional attribute tells the browser the natural language
that is being used for textual content in the HTML document,
which is English in this example.
This doesn't change how the document is rendered in the
browser; rather, search engines and screen reader software can
use this information.
