Main root

ElementDescriptionThe HTML element represents the root (top-level element) of an HTML document, so it is also referred to as the root element. All other elements must be descendants of this element.

Document metadata

Metadata contains information about the page. This includes information about styles, scripts and data to help software (search engines, browsers, etc.) use and render the page. Metadata for styles and scripts may be defined in the page or link to another file that has the information.

ElementDescriptionThe HTML element specifies the base URL to use for all relative URLs in a document. There can be only one element in a document.The HTML element contains machine-readable information (metadata) about the document, like its title, scripts, and style sheets.The HTML element specifies relationships between the current document and an external resource. This element is most commonly used to link to CSS, but is also used to establish site icons (both "favicon" style icons and icons for the home screen and apps on mobile devices) among other things.The HTML element represents Metadata that cannot be represented by other HTML meta-related elements, like 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.6The 6 HTML element contains style information for a document, or part of a document. It contains CSS, which is applied to the contents of the document containing the 6 element.9The 9 HTML element defines the document's title that is shown in a Browser's title bar or a page's tab. It only contains text; tags within the element are ignored.

Sectioning root

ElementDescription1The 1 HTML element represents the content of an HTML document. There can be only one 1 element in a document.

Content sectioning

Content sectioning elements allow you to organize the document content into logical pieces. Use the sectioning elements to create a broad outline for your page content, including header and footer navigation, and heading elements to identify sections of content.

ElementDescription4The 4 HTML element indicates that the enclosed HTML provides contact information for a person or people, or for an organization.6The 6 HTML element represents a self-contained composition in a document, page, application, or site, which is intended to be independently distributable or reusable (e.g., in syndication). Examples include: a forum post, a magazine or newspaper article, or a blog entry, a product card, a user-submitted comment, an interactive widget or gadget, or any other independent item of content.8The 8 HTML element represents a portion of a document whose content is only indirectly related to the document's main content. Asides are frequently presented as sidebars or call-out boxes.0The 0 HTML element represents a footer for its nearest ancestor sectioning content or sectioning root element. A 0 typically contains information about the author of the section, copyright data or links to related documents.3The 3 HTML element represents introductory content, typically a group of introductory or navigational aids. It may contain some heading elements but also a logo, a search form, an author name, and other elements.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0The 5 to 0 HTML elements represent six levels of section headings. 5 is the highest section level and 0 is the lowest.5The 5 HTML element represents the dominant content of the 7 of a document. The main content area consists of content that is directly related to or expands upon the central topic of a document, or the central functionality of an application.8The 8 HTML element represents a section of a page whose purpose is to provide navigation links, either within the current document or to other documents. Common examples of navigation sections are menus, tables of contents, and indexes.0The 0 HTML element represents a generic standalone section of a document, which doesn't have a more specific semantic element to represent it. Sections should always have a heading, with very few exceptions.

Text content

Use HTML text content elements to organize blocks or sections of content placed between the opening 1 and closing 3 tags. Important for accessibility and SEO, these elements identify the purpose or structure of that content.

ElementDescription4The 4 HTML element indicates that the enclosed text is an extended quotation. Usually, this is rendered visually by indentation (see Notes for how to change it). A URL for the source of the quotation may be given using the 6 attribute, while a text representation of the source can be given using the 6 element.8The 8 HTML element provides the description, definition, or value for the preceding term (0) in a description list (1).2The 2 HTML element is the generic container for flow content. It has no effect on the content or layout until styled in some way using CSS (e.g. styling is directly applied to it, or some kind of layout model like Flexbox is applied to its parent element).4The 4 HTML element represents a description list. The element encloses a list of groups of terms (specified using the 0 element) and descriptions (provided by 7 elements). Common uses for this element are to implement a glossary or to display metadata (a list of key-value pairs).8The 8 HTML element specifies a term in a description or definition list, and as such must be used inside a 1 element. It is usually followed by a 7 element; however, multiple 8 elements in a row indicate several terms that are all defined by the immediate next 7 element.4The 4 HTML element represents a caption or legend describing the rest of the contents of its parent 6 element.7The 7 HTML element represents self-contained content, potentially with an optional caption, which is specified using the 9 element. The figure, its caption, and its contents are referenced as a single unit.0The 0 HTML element represents a thematic break between paragraph-level elements: for example, a change of scene in a story, or a shift of topic within a section.2The 2 HTML element is used to represent an item in a list. It must be contained in a parent element: an ordered list (4), an unordered list (5), or a menu (6). In menus and unordered lists, list items are usually displayed using bullet points. In ordered lists, they are usually displayed with an ascending counter on the left, such as a number or letter.7The 7 HTML element is described in the HTML specification as a semantic alternative to 5, but treated by browsers (and exposed through the accessibility tree) as no different than 5. It represents an unordered list of items (which are represented by 1 elements).2The 2 HTML element represents an ordered list of items — typically rendered as a numbered list.4The 4 HTML element represents a paragraph. Paragraphs are usually represented in visual media as blocks of text separated from adjacent blocks by blank lines and/or first-line indentation, but HTML paragraphs can be any structural grouping of related content, such as images or form fields.6The 6 HTML element represents preformatted text which is to be presented exactly as written in the HTML file. The text is typically rendered using a non-proportional, or monospaced, font. Whitespace inside this element is displayed as written.8The 8 HTML element represents an unordered list of items, typically rendered as a bulleted list.

Inline text semantics

Use the HTML inline text semantic to define the meaning, structure, or style of a word, line, or any arbitrary piece of text.

ElementDescription00The 00 HTML element (or anchor element), with its 02 attribute, creates a hyperlink to web pages, files, email addresses, locations in the same page, or anything else a URL can address.03The 03 HTML element represents an abbreviation or acronym.05The 05 HTML element is used to draw the reader's attention to the element's contents, which are not otherwise granted special importance. This was formerly known as the Boldface element, and most browsers still draw the text in boldface. However, you should not use 05 for styling text; instead, you should use the CSS 08 property to create boldface text, or the 09 element to indicate that text is of special importance.10The 10 HTML element tells the browser's bidirectional algorithm to treat the text it contains in isolation from its surrounding text. It's particularly useful when a website dynamically inserts some text and doesn't know the directionality of the text being inserted.12The 12 HTML element overrides the current directionality of text, so that the text within is rendered in a different direction.14The 14 HTML element produces a line break in text (carriage-return). It is useful for writing a poem or an address, where the division of lines is significant.16The 16 HTML element is used to describe a reference to a cited creative work, and must include the title of that work. The reference may be in an abbreviated form according to context-appropriate conventions related to citation metadata.18The 18 HTML element displays its contents styled in a fashion intended to indicate that the text is a short fragment of computer code. By default, the content text is displayed using the user agent default monospace font.20The 20 HTML element links a given piece of content with a machine-readable translation. If the content is time- or date-related, the 22 element must be used.23The 23 HTML element is used to indicate the term being defined within the context of a definition phrase or sentence. The ancestor 25 element, the 0/7 pairing, or the nearest 28 ancestor of the 23 element, is considered to be the definition of the term.30The 30 HTML element marks text that has stress emphasis. The 30 element can be nested, with each level of nesting indicating a greater degree of emphasis.33The 33 HTML element represents a range of text that is set off from the normal text for some reason, such as idiomatic text, technical terms, taxonomical designations, among others. Historically, these have been presented using italicized type, which is the original source of the 33 naming of this element.36The 36 HTML element represents a span of inline text denoting textual user input from a keyboard, voice input, or any other text entry device. By convention, the user agent defaults to rendering the contents of a 36 element using its default monospace font, although this is not mandated by the HTML standard.39The 39 HTML element represents text which is marked or highlighted for reference or notation purposes due to the marked passage's relevance in the enclosing context.41The 41 HTML element indicates that the enclosed text is a short inline quotation. Most modern browsers implement this by surrounding the text in quotation marks. This element is intended for short quotations that don't require paragraph breaks; for long quotations use the 43 element.44The 44 HTML element is used to provide fall-back parentheses for browsers that do not support display of ruby annotations using the 46 element. One 44 element should enclose each of the opening and closing parentheses that wrap the 48 element that contains the annotation's text.49The 49 HTML element specifies the ruby text component of a ruby annotation, which is used to provide pronunciation, translation, or transliteration information for East Asian typography. The 49 element must always be contained within a 46 element.53The 53 HTML element represents small annotations that are rendered above, below, or next to base text, usually used for showing the pronunciation of East Asian characters. It can also be used for annotating other kinds of text, but this usage is less common.55The 55 HTML element renders text with a strikethrough, or a line through it. Use the 55 element to represent things that are no longer relevant or no longer accurate. However, 55 is not appropriate when indicating document edits; for that, use the 59 and 60 elements, as appropriate.61The 61 HTML element is used to enclose inline text which represents sample (or quoted) output from a computer program. Its contents are typically rendered using the browser's default monospaced font (such as Courier or Lucida Console).63The 63 HTML element represents side-comments and small print, like copyright and legal text, independent of its styled presentation. By default, it renders text within it one font-size smaller, such as from 65 to 66.67The 67 HTML element is a generic inline container for phrasing content, which does not inherently represent anything. It can be used to group elements for styling purposes (using the 69 or 70 attributes), or because they share attribute values, such as 71. It should be used only when no other semantic element is appropriate. 67 is very much like a 73 element, but 73 is a block-level element whereas a 67 is an inline element.76The 76 HTML element indicates that its contents have strong importance, seriousness, or urgency. Browsers typically render the contents in bold type.78The 78 HTML element specifies inline text which should be displayed as subscript for solely typographical reasons. Subscripts are typically rendered with a lowered baseline using smaller text.80The 80 HTML element specifies inline text which is to be displayed as superscript for solely typographical reasons. Superscripts are usually rendered with a raised baseline using smaller text.82The 82 HTML element represents a specific period in time. It may include the 84 attribute to translate dates into machine-readable format, allowing for better search engine results or custom features such as reminders.85The 85 HTML element represents a span of inline text which should be rendered in a way that indicates that it has a non-textual annotation. This is rendered by default as a simple solid underline, but may be altered using CSS.87The 87 HTML element represents the name of a variable in a mathematical expression or a programming context. It's typically presented using an italicized version of the current typeface, although that behavior is browser-dependent.89The 89 HTML element represents a word break opportunity—a position within text where the browser may optionally break a line, though its line-breaking rules would not otherwise create a break at that location.

Image and multimedia

HTML supports various multimedia resources such as images, audio, and video.

ElementDescription91The 91 HTML element defines an area inside an image map that has predefined clickable areas. An image map allows geometric areas on an image to be associated with Hyperlink.93The 93 HTML element is used to embed sound content in documents. It may contain one or more audio sources, represented using the 95 attribute or the 96 element: the browser will choose the most suitable one. It can also be the destination for streamed media, using a 97.98The 98 HTML element embeds an image into the document.00The 00 HTML element is used with 02 elements to define an image map (a clickable link area).03The 03 HTML element is used as a child of the media elements, 05 and 06. It lets you specify timed text tracks (or time-based data), for example to automatically handle subtitles. The tracks are formatted in WebVTT format (07 files) — Web Video Text Tracks.08The 08 HTML element embeds a media player which supports video playback into the document. You can use 08 for audio content as well, but the 05 element may provide a more appropriate user experience.

Embedded content

In addition to regular multimedia content, HTML can include a variety of other content, even if it's not always easy to interact with.

ElementDescription12The 12 HTML element embeds external content at the specified point in the document. This content is provided by an external application or other source of interactive content such as a browser plug-in.14The 14 HTML element represents a nested browsing context, embedding another HTML page into the current one.16The 16 HTML element represents an external resource, which can be treated as an image, a nested browsing context, or a resource to be handled by a plugin.18The 18 HTML element contains zero or more 96 elements and one 21 element to offer alternative versions of an image for different display/device scenarios.22The 22 HTML element enables the embedding of another HTML page into the current one for the purposes of allowing smoother navigation into new pages.24The 24 HTML element specifies multiple media resources for the 26, the 05 element, or the 06 element. It is a void element, meaning that it has no content and does not have a closing tag. It is commonly used to offer the same media content in multiple file formats in order to provide compatibility with a broad range of browsers given their differing support for image file formats and media file formats.

SVG and MathML

You can embed SVG and MathML content directly into HTML documents, using the 29 and 30 elements.

ElementDescription29The 32 element is a container that defines a new coordinate system and viewport. It is used as the outermost element of SVG documents, but it can also be used to embed an SVG fragment inside an SVG or HTML document.30The top-level element in MathML is 34. Every valid MathML instance must be wrapped in 34 tags. In addition you must not nest a second 34 element in another, but you can have an arbitrary number of other child elements in it.

Scripting

In order to create dynamic content and Web applications, HTML supports the use of scripting languages, most prominently JavaScript. Certain elements support this capability.

ElementDescription37Use the HTML 37 element with either the canvas scripting API or the WebGL API to draw graphics and animations.39The 39 HTML element defines a section of HTML to be inserted if a script type on the page is unsupported or if scripting is currently turned off in the browser.41The 41 HTML element is used to embed executable code or data; this is typically used to embed or refer to JavaScript code. The 41 element can also be used with other languages, such as WebGL's GLSL shader programming language and JSON.

Demarcating edits

These elements let you provide indications that specific parts of the text have been altered.

ElementDescription44The 44 HTML element represents a range of text that has been deleted from a document. This can be used when rendering "track changes" or source code diff information, for example. The 60 element can be used for the opposite purpose: to indicate text that has been added to the document.47The 47 HTML element represents a range of text that has been added to a document. You can use the 59 element to similarly represent a range of text that has been deleted from the document.

Table content

The elements here are used to create and handle tabular data.

ElementDescription50The 50 HTML element specifies the caption (or title) of a table.52The 52 HTML element defines a column within a table and is used for defining common semantics on all common cells. It is generally found within a 54 element.55The 55 HTML element defines a group of columns within a table.57The 57 HTML element represents tabular data — that is, information presented in a two-dimensional table comprised of rows and columns of cells containing data.59The 59 HTML element encapsulates a set of table rows (61 elements), indicating that they comprise the body of the table (62).63The 63 HTML element defines a cell of a table that contains data. It participates in the table model.65The 65 HTML element defines a set of rows summarizing the columns of the table.67The 67 HTML element defines a cell as header of a group of table cells. The exact nature of this group is defined by the 69 and 70 attributes.71The 71 HTML element defines a set of rows defining the head of the columns of the table.73The 73 HTML element defines a row of cells in a table. The row's cells can then be established using a mix of 75 (data cell) and 76 (header cell) elements.

Forms

HTML provides a number of elements which can be used together to create forms which the user can fill out and submit to the website or application. There's a great deal of further information about this available in the HTML forms guide.

ElementDescription77The 77 HTML element is an interactive element activated by a user with a mouse, keyboard, finger, voice command, or other assistive technology. Once activated, it then performs an action, such as submitting a form or opening a dialog.79The 79 HTML element contains a set of 81 elements that represent the permissible or recommended options available to choose from within other controls.82The 82 HTML element is used to group several controls as well as labels (84) within a web form.85The 85 HTML element represents a document section containing interactive controls for submitting information.87The 87 HTML element is used to create interactive controls for web-based forms in order to accept data from the user; a wide variety of types of input data and control widgets are available, depending on the device and user agent. The 87 element is one of the most powerful and complex in all of HTML due to the sheer number of combinations of input types and attributes.90The 90 HTML element represents a caption for an item in a user interface.92The 92 HTML element represents a caption for the content of its parent 94.95The 95 HTML element represents either a scalar value within a known range or a fractional value.97The 97 HTML element creates a grouping of options within a 99 element.00The 00 HTML element is used to define an item contained in a 99, an 03, or a 04 element. As such, 00 can represent menu items in popups and other lists of items in an HTML document.06The 06 HTML element is a container element into which a site or app can inject the results of a calculation or the outcome of a user action.08The 08 HTML element displays an indicator showing the completion progress of a task, typically displayed as a progress bar.10The 10 HTML element represents a control that provides a menu of options.12The 12 HTML element represents a multi-line plain-text editing control, useful when you want to allow users to enter a sizeable amount of free-form text, for example a comment on a review or feedback form.

Interactive elements

HTML offers a selection of elements which help to create interactive user interface objects.

ElementDescription14The 14 HTML element creates a disclosure widget in which information is visible only when the widget is toggled into an "open" state. A summary or label must be provided using the 16 element.17The 17 HTML element represents a dialog box or other interactive component, such as a dismissible alert, inspector, or subwindow.19The 19 HTML element specifies a summary, caption, or legend for a 21 element's disclosure box. Clicking the 19 element toggles the state of the parent 14 element open and closed.

Web Components

Web Components is an HTML-related technology which makes it possible to, essentially, create and use custom elements as if it were regular HTML. In addition, you can create custom versions of standard HTML elements.

ElementDescription24The 24 HTML element—part of the Web Components technology suite—is a placeholder inside a web component that you can fill with your own markup, which lets you create separate DOM trees and present them together.26The 26 HTML element is a mechanism for holding HTML that is not to be rendered immediately when a page is loaded but may be instantiated subsequently during runtime using JavaScript.

Obsolete and deprecated elements

Warning: These are old HTML elements which are deprecated and should not be used. You should never use them in new projects, and you should replace them in old projects as soon as you can. They are listed here for completeness only.

Which tag contains all the main contents of your web page?

The section contains all the content of the web page.

What is the difference in an opening tag and a closing tag quizlet?

The opening tag is directly after the Document type. The closing tag is the last tag in the document. The tag that displays information about the document. This tag should contain the title tag inside it.

What is the very first tag that is used when creating a document in HTML?

The DOCTYPE html> tag is required for HTML5 and should always be the very first thing in your HTML document. This helps the browser know which version of HTML you're using.

What are tags called in HTML quizlet?

HTML tags most commonly come in pairs like

and

, although some represent empty elements and so are unpaired, for example . The first tag in such a pair is the start tag, and the second is the end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags).
