Web page design

What is HTML?
Hypertext mark-up language is a "computer language" used to structure web pages.


What are the tags you need to know for the exam? 
HTML uses tags to structure a webpage. For the exam you will need to know these tags:
<html> = beginning of a html page
<head> = the heading and title of a page
<body> = the main body of text of a page

<em> = italic
<strong> = bold
 <p> = paragraph
<hr> = horizontal line across the page
<br> = break in the text
<a href> = hyperlink
<img> = image







What is CSS? 
Cascading Style Sheets. This is used to style web pages. CSS is different to HTML as it separates document content  from document presentation, including elements such as the layout, colours, and fonts.
CSS is split up using selectors e.g.
p {color : Blue;}

  1. Good summary. In your CSS section you could mention where the CSS can go (inline, at the top of the HTML file, or in a separate css file)
