Did you know there are two different bodies who determine html 5 guidelines, codes, updates and accuracy, who are both independent of one another? Given html 5 is the way we design nearly all current websites globally, one may ask “what could possibly go wrong?”
The premise for today was carbohydrates.
Apparently, coding a website with html is just like making a sandwich; it has the bread, the condiments and the filling. Also, there is a plate or wrapper depending on where you got it.
On any webpage you have open, right click and select ‘inspect element’.
- DOCTYPE: This indicates which version of html is being used. It’s your plate, box or butcher’s paper (if you’re from the 1960’s).
- HTML tags: These are the things I discussed last week. They’re <the pointed brackets>. Every page, paragraph and element bust begin and end with one, like bread in a sandwich (unless you’re a celiac, then they’re like large Portobello mushroom ends).
- HEAD: These are the codes for very non-visual element that make the doc ‘work’. Things like meta-tags, titles, feeds and links to resources. They’re your salt, pepper and in my case lime pickle chutney.
- BODY: This is your content. It is the code for every visual element on the page; words, images, videos, colours, fonts, buttons, you name it. If you can see it, then the html body code is where it lies, and this my friend is the salami…… or spinach, kale and cherry tomatoes if meat isn’t your thing.
There you have it!
