Hii readers. Today I will share some HTML tags along with their attributes. So what are you waiting for? Let's start coding👩‍💻

Heading tags

HTML has six "levels" of headings: <h1> is used for main headings. <h2> is used for subheadings. If there are further sections under the subheadings then the <h3> element is used, and so on... Browsers display the contents of headings at different sizes. The contents of an <h1> element is the largest, and the contents of an <h6> element is the smallest. image.png image.png

Paragraph tag

To create a paragraph, surround the words that make up the paragraph with an opening <p> tag and closing </p> tag. By default, a browser will show each paragraph on a new line with some space between it and any subsequent paragraphs. The <p> tag specifically supports the alignment attribute and allows us to align our paragraphs in left, right, or center alignment. image.png

Bold and italics

By enclosing words in the tags <b> and </b> we can make characters appear bold. The <b> element also represents a section of text that would be presented in a visually different way (for example key words in a paragraph) although the use of the <b> element does not imply any additional meaning. By enclosing words in the tags <i> and </i> we can make characters appear italic. The <i> element also represents a section of text that would be said in a different way from surrounding content — such as technical terms, names of ships, foreign words, thoughts, or other terms that would usually be italicized. image.png image.png

Subscript and Superscript

The <sup> element is used to contain characters that should be superscript such as the suffixes of dates or mathematical concepts like raising a number to a power such as 2².

The <sub> element is used to contain characters that should be subscript. It is commonly used with foot notes or chemical formulas.

White space

In order to make code easier to read, web page authors often add extra spaces or start some elements on new lines.

When the browser comes across two or more spaces next to each other, it only displays one space. Similarly if it comes across a line break, it treats that as a single space too. This is known as white space collapsing.

You will often see that web page authors take advantage of white space collapsing to indent their code in order to make it easier to follow.

Line breaks

The browser will automatically show each new paragraph or heading on a new line. But if you want to add a line break inside the middle of a paragraph you can use the line break tag <br>.

Horizontal rule

To create a break between themes — such as a change of topic in a book or a new scene in a play — you can add a horizontal rule between sections using the <hr> tag.

There are a few elements that do not have any words between an opening and closing tag. They are known as empty elements and they are written differently and mostly have only one tag i.e. opening tag.

It has the following attributes:

• align It is used to specify the alignment of the horizontal rule. It accepts values- left, right,center.

•size It is used to specify the height of the horizontal rule.

•width It is used to specify the width of the horizontal rule.

•color It is used to specify the color of the horizontal rule.

•noshade It is used to specify the bar without any shading effect.
