Lesson learnt from week 1 to week 2

In the first week, we mostly learnt about the basics of "HTML: Hypertext Mark-up Language" and it being the basic building block of any website.

A website comprises of three "ingredients" namely:

1. html - structure

2. css - styling

3.javascript - interactivity

A html file contain elements which are written with the use of tags. Most tags have both opening and closing tags e.g. <p></p> for the paragraph tag, while some only have opening tag e.g. <br> for breaking lines.

Attributes can be added to a tag to show more information about an element e.g. <p style="color: blue;">

In the second week, we learnt how to attach css files to our html code using the .css file extension.

We also learnt about block level and in-line level elements: block level elements covering the whole width of the page while in-line level elements covering only the space they use.

We learnt how to use the span tag to select a group of words to be edited and how to add comments in our work to help explain our code (among other things).

We were introduced to certain formatting tags like:

1. <abbr> for abbrieviation

2. <address> for address

3. <cite> for title of a work

4. <mark> to highlight

5. <ins> to insert a text
