HTML “Cheat Sheet”


Terminology

Term Definition Example

Tag Make up the start and end of an element. <p></p>


Tags that contain content (other tags or text)
have open/closing pairs. Tags that do not
have content are almost always self-closing.

Element The term to refer to the page element (tag(s) <p>


and any content). Content of a paragraph
element.
</p>

Attribute Defines a property for an element, consists of <img src="pup.gif"


an attribute/value pair, and is defined within alt="An adorable puppy.">
the element's start tag (or self-closing tag).
An element's start tag may contain any (src and alt are attributes)
number of space-separated attribute/value
pairs.

Some attributes are “boolean” meaning they <button disabled>


don’t require a value (e.g. the ​disabled Click Me!
attribute for button elements) </button>

Semantic Tag HTML elements that introduce meaning to Options include, but not limited to:
the web page rather than just presentation. <strong> <main> <section>
<header> <blockquote> <code>
<em>

presentational tags originally used to control
display without semantic value.
