How does HTML work?

Similar function to Markdown, syntax defines how stuff should be displayed

• HTML is based on beginning and closing tags <tagname>content</tagname>
  • Note the “/” on the ending or closing tag of the pair

Attributes

• Learn about attributes
• Tags can have additional info in the form of attributes
• Attributes usually come in name/value pairs like: name=”value”

<tagname attribute_name="attribute_value" another_attribute="another_value">inner html text</tagname>

• href example with attribute for web link and inner html to describe link

<a href="https://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp">Visit W3Schools HTML Page</a>

HTML Hacks

• Below is a wireframe for an HTML element you will create. A wireframe is a rough visual representation of HTML elements on a page and isn’t necessarily to scale or have the exact styling that the final HTML will have. Using the syntax above, try to create an HTML snippet that corresponds to the below wireframe.
• The “a tags” can contain any links that you want

%%html

<p>I am a very cool guy</p>
<button type="button" onclick="alert('Hello world!')">Click Me!</button>
<div>
    <p>I love my life</p>
    <p>I am in 10th grade</p>
