Abanoub Hanna April 24, 2019
Now, we will understand HTML5 with a smart concise cheat sheet, plus, you can try the html5 code/script online without downloading any software via online real-time code editor here!

Let's start learning..

HTML5 Standard Structure

<html></html> these tags are used at the beginning and end of an HTML document. This is known as the root element. Using these tags tells the website that the web page is being written in HTML5, and that all the other tags within these are HTML formatted.

<title></title> This is used for the title tag of the page. Here you'll place a title that is useful to both search engines and users.

Here's what a typical layout looks like:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>HTML5 Cheat Sheet</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        Your content
    </body>
</html>
<meta/> includes additional information about the page. This includes descriptions, author, publish date, keywords, and other off-page information.

<style>..</style> used to include document style information which is usually CSS.

<head></head> use these to group information specific to the page. This includes title tags, meta descriptions, and links to both script and style sheets.

<body></body> between these tags is where you'll place all the content for users. This includes text, images, and graphic elements.

<base /> signifies the Base URL and specifies all relative links in the document.

<link /> creates association with external page like style sheets.

<script>..</script> all the information of links to external scripts.

HTML5 Web Page Example

<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8"/>
        <base href="https://www.abanoubhanna.com" target="_blank"/>
        <title>Abanoub Hanna Website</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/master.css"/>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        var myVariable = 0;
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        Your content
    </body>
</html>

<em></em> the emphasis tag. Turns text into italics on browser.

<cite></cite> This highlights references information. Good for quotes and statements.

<del></del> labels a previously deleted portion of text.

<blockquote></blockquote> these are used for long paragraphs of quotation which are commonly cited as well.

<br/> this creates a line break used for writing blocks of text on different lines.

<sub></sub> subscript text that is smaller and placed a half-line lower than previous text. like the 2 in H2O

<b></b> displays bold text, but you should use <strong> tag instead.

<i></i> displays italic text, but you should use <em> tag instead. It mainly used for thoughts or names.

<pre></pre> monospace text laid out with the whitespace inside the element intact.

<ins></ins> shows a section that has been inserted into the content.
