Clase 2

Summary

This class introduces the basic HTML needed to create a simple webpage. The instructor demonstrates using Sublime Text: typing html and pressing Tab generates a starter document, including the page structure and a <body> where content can be added.

Common HTML Elements

• <p> creates a paragraph.
• <br> inserts a line break.
• <a href="..."> creates a hyperlink.
• <img src="..."> displays an image. In the example, the image is in the same folder as the HTML file.
• <title> sets the page title.
• <hr> adds a horizontal rule.

Most HTML elements have opening and closing tags, while some, such as <br> and <img>, do not. Elements can also be nested—for example, a paragraph can contain a link. Because browsers read markup in order, tags should be arranged and closed correctly.

The class saves the HTML file, opens it in a browser, and refreshes the page to view changes. The instructor recommends learning a small set of commonly used elements rather than memorizing a large catalog of tags. Forms and controls such as checkboxes and radio buttons are mentioned as more advanced topics not covered in this lesson. Short practice exercises are planned.
