HTML5 & CSS Chapter 1: Webpage Building Blocks
Introduction
This chapter will introduce you to the basic building blocks of webpages. First, we
will identify and label the different parts that go into a webpage. A webpage is
primarily made up of three components: text content, references to other files,
and markup. In turn, HTML markup is composed of elements, attributes, and
values.
Best practices for working with HTML will also be considered and discussed. It is
important that you mark up your content with semantic HTML, and let CSS
control its appearance. Take the time to really understand the basics of building
webpages presented in this chapter. Next, you’ll be learning to work with
webpage files.
