Brief overview of some basic HTML tags

Some basic HTML tags developers/designers use regularly explained below.

  1. – you can use it for longer, multi-lines quotations from a different source than the rest of the content. They are usually indented by browsers

  2. – the text within a cite tag should be the name of a third-party work such as a literary work, opera, play, etc.
  3. – this tag can hold any content; it is a block-level element so upon adding it, the content inside it will be on a new line, separated from the surrounding elements and the content inside could take the entire horizontal/vertical space, restricted only by its own container/parent tags
  4. – this tag is an inline-element and does not change the layout of the content inside it; it is useful for enclosing text that would be later processed with JavaScript, amongst other uses.
  5. – This inline element is usually rendered in bold by browsers
  6. – use this inline element for emphasized text
  7. – enclose text that should be in a smaller font size in the tag; such as legal information
  8. – this tag can be used to denote important text that is still not considered a heading
