XHTML elements and attributes

TAG DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE VIEW
<a href> The <a> tag defines a hyperlink, which is used to link from one page to another. The most important attribute of the <a> element is the href attribute, which indicates the link's destination. <a href="https://protemos.com">Visit my website</a>


<a href="mailto:as@protemos.com">as@protemos.com</a>

1 V.png
<b> The tag specifies bold text without any extra importance. <b>This text is bold</b> 2 B.png
<br/> The tag inserts a single line break.

To add a blank line, use this tag twice.

<h1> to <h6> Defines Headings level from 1 to 6 different sizes. <h1 style="color:blue;">This is a heading</h1> 3 H.png
<hr> Represents a thematic break between paragraph-level tags. It is typically drawn horizontal line. <hr/> 1 line.png
<i> The content inside is typically displayed in italic. <i>This text is italic</i> 4 I.png

<p> The tag defines a paragraph. <p>This project is due <span style="color: red;">30 days</span>.</p> 1 th.png
<span> The tag is an inline container used to mark up a part of a text, or a part of a document. The tag is much like the <div> element, but <div> is a block-level element and is an inline element. <p>This is a <span style="color:blue;"> paragraph</span>.</p> 5. P.png
<ul> The tag defines an unordered (bulleted) list. Use the <ul> tag together with the <li> tag to create unordered lists. <ul> <li>Quote</li> <li>Project</li> <li>Job</li> </ul> 6. Q.png
<style>
Used to add CSS style, e.g.:
- Underline the text

- Align the text
