HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to create web pages, developed by Tim Berners-Lee. It is the foundational language of the World Wide Web, designed for structuring and presenting content online. HTML is characterized by simplicity and universality, enabling the creation of both simple and complex web page layouts. This language offers a wide range of tags and attributes, providing developers with tools to define headings, paragraphs, lists, links, images, and other page elements. HTML also supports integration with CSS for styling and JavaScript for dynamic functionality, maintaining accessibility and compatibility across different browsers and devices.

What tag is used to create hyperlinks in HTML?

In HTML, the a tag is used to create hyperlinks.

The a tag can contain both text and images. When this element is clicked, the user is redirected to the page, resource, or file provided in the href attribute.

To create a link to another page, we use the a tag like this:
<a href="https://example.com">Click me</a>

"Click me" is visible to users and when they click on this text, they will be redirected to the "https://example.com" page.

Another important attribute that can be used in the a tag is target. The target attribute determines where the link should open. For example, if we want the link to open in a new window, we use the target attribute with the value "_blank":
<a href="https://example.com" target="_blank">Click me</a>

Which tag would you use to insert an image on a website?

We use the img tag to insert an image on a webpage. The attribute of this tag that is necessary for its proper operation is src (source). It takes a value that is the path to the file from which the image is to be loaded. For example, to add the 'cat.jpg' image from our root directory, we would use:
<img src="cat.jpg" alt="Description of the image"/>

The value of the alt attribute is the text that will be displayed if the image cannot be loaded for some reason. Additionally, it is used for screen readers for the visually impaired, so it's worth including a brief description of the image there.

What is the <p> tag and what is it used for?

The `<p>` tag is one of the basic tags in HTML, used for defining paragraphs. It contains any block of text and other inline elements such as links, images, pages, etc.

The basic use of the `<p>` tag looks like this:
<p>Here is some text in the paragraph.</p>

The `<p>` tag is a block-level element, meaning it always starts from a new line and ends at the end of the block element. By default, the browser adds vertical margins to each `<p>` element, causing breaks between paragraphs. However, it does not manually add horizontal margins, so without additional styling, the text will stretch from edge to edge.

This is the basic and most important way to divide text into a paragraph structure in HTML. It can be styled with CSS for a better appearance.

What is an ordered list and which tag would you use to create one?

An ordered list, also known as a numbered list, is a type of list where the items are clearly numbered, indicating that the order of items matters. An ordered list is used when information needs to be presented in a specific order, such as steps in a cooking recipe or a ranking list.

In HTML, an ordered list is created using the [ol] (ordered list) tag, and each list item is defined by the [li] (list item) tag. Each item on the list starts on a new line and is automatically numbered.

Here is an example of how to use these tags to create an ordered list:
<ol>
  <li>First item</li>
  <li>Second item</li>
  <li>Third item</li>
</ol>

In the above example, on the webpage you will see a list with three numbered items.
