A web page, electronic page or digital page is a digital document, capable of including audio, video, text, links, images and their combinations, adapted to the standards of the World Wide Web (WWW) and which can be accessed through a web browser and Internet connection.
There are more than one billion web pages of various types and content on the Internet, from all over the world and in all major spoken languages. This represents humanity's largest archive of information in existence today, stored on thousands of servers around the world, which can be accessed quickly thanks to a system of communication protocols (HTTP).
Web pages are programmed in a format, HTML or XHTML language, and are characterised by their relationship to each other through hyperlinks, or links. These files have the extension .html or .htm.
Finally, it is not the same to speak of a Web page (Webpage) and a Web site (Website), a Web site is made up of several Web pages, linked to each other, which are accessed through a common address.
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is a language used to create web pages. As any languaje, it has specific grammar, vocabulary and semantic. When someone learn programming codes is similar to spoken language.
Webpages are usually viewed in a web browser. They can include writing, links, pictures, and even sound and video. HTML is used to mark and describe each of these kinds of content so the web browser can display them correctly.
HTML was made by the World Wide Web Consortium(W3C). There are several versions of HTML. As of September 2018, the current standard of HTML is dubbed HTML 5 and is specifically at version 5.2.
HTML uses special bits of programming language called "tags" to let the browser know how a webpage should look. The tags usually come in pairs: an opening tag <tag> defines the start of a block of content and a closing tag </tag> defines the end of that block of content. There are many different kinds of tags, and each one has a different purpose. The content is between the two tabs.
There are two types of website, according to the way in which their content is generated:
Static. they are those that do not change as they always show the same content every time we load them. They are made in HTML language (Hypertext Markup Language or Hypertext Markup Language).
Dynamic. These are pages that show different results depending on the user's actions, for example, a search engine is a dynamic page that returns one result or another depending on the user's request. They are currently the most common. They are made by combining HTML with dynamic languages such as ASP (Active Server Pages), ASP.NET, Java, PHP or JavaScript.
Elements and characteristics of the structure of an html web page.
html files are created in a plain text editor and are saved with the extension .html.
all files always start with the <html> tag and always end with </html>.
The main structure of a web page is:
Header: normally placed at the top of the page.
Body: of the page or body: where we introduce the main contents.
Footer: closing, copyright, credits...
It works by tag elements and their attributes. The content displayed by the browser is between a opening <> and closing </> tag. These tags define the function by their meaning, appearance, how the content is displayed. To assign tags, keywords are enclosed in square brackets. Example <html>Web page</html>.
<opening tag>content displaying the web</closing tag>.
Any HTML tag can contain one or more attributes, separated by spaces, that allow the tag to be specified. The source code looks like this:
<tag attribute="property:value">
<tag attribute1="property:attribute value1" attribute2="property:attribute value2" >
What are the basic tags and attributes in HTML?
There are a number of tags that are the most commonly used to create any HTML document, which are explained below:
<head> Information hidden of the file
<title>
<author>
<body> Between this tag is the content
<style> style is an attribute completed with a property and its value, it is defined only inside the opening tag:
<tag attribute="property:value;"
Example: <p style="color:red">
<a> is the tags for links and the attribute is href
<a href="URL">showing word</a>
<a href="https://site.educa.madrid.org/ies.severoochoa.alcobendas/">Insti</a>
<div> division of the content
<strong> put in bold
