Typical HTML structure

HTML = HyperText Markup Language

• Hierarchical structure
• Element = <tagname attribute="a" other="b">content</tagname>
  • Start tag: <tagname>
  • Attributes: attribute="a" other="b"
  • Content: content
  • End tag: </tagname>
• Elements nest inside elements (as content)
  • Nested elements = “children”
