HTML Common Tags

Once you master basic typography, you must learn to link documents and embed media. These tags form the interactive fabric of the internet.

1. Lists: UL & OL

Websites are largely made of lists. Navigation menus, sidebars, and footers are typically ul (unordered list) elements. Use ol when the sequence of items is critical, such as a ranking or procedure.

2. Anchors: The A Tag

The a tag is what makes the web a "web". By using the href attribute, you connect one page to another. Remember to use target="_blank" sparingly to keep users from being overwhelmed by new tabs.

3. Visuals: The IMG Tag

Images are embedded via the img tag. Because it doesn't wrap text, it is a void element. Always include an alt attribute; without it, your site is invisible to search engines and screen readers.

Detailed technical overview of attribute syntax (key="value"), absolute vs relative paths for images/links, and the concept of nested lists for dropdown menus.

Note: Anchor tags can also link to IDs within the same page using #id syntax.
