00:01 | Hello and welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Phrase Tags in HTML |
00:07 | In this tutorial we will learn:
How to add Comments in HTML and about Phrase Tags |
00:16 | To practise this tutorial, you should know to use any WYSIWYG or Text Editor and web browser. |
00:24 | If not, then go through gedit Text Editor and Firefox tutorials on this website. |
00:31 | To record this tutorial, I’m using Ubuntu Linux 16.04 OS
HTML5 |
00:39 | gedit Text Editor and Firefox web browser |
00:44 | However you may use any other editor or browser of your choice. |
00:50 | The files used in this tutorial are available in the Code Files link on this tutorial page. |
00:57 | Please download and extract them. |
01:00 | It is always a good practice to write comments when we write any code. |
01:05 | It helps us to understand the written code. |
01:08 | It enables us to write documentation of a program inside the code itself. |
01:14 | It helps us to debug the code easily. |
01:18 | It also helps us to skip a snippet of code without executing it. |
01:24 | This is the syntax to write a comment in HTML. |
01:29 | HTML comments are placed in between these tags. |
01:34 | Any content that is between these tags will be treated as comment. |
01:39 | And it will be completely ignored or skipped by the browser at the time of execution. |
01:45 | Let us switch to the editor window and write a few comments. |
01:50 | I have already created an HTML file named MySamplePage.html. |
01:57 | And I have saved this file in the my-html folder on my machine. |
02:02 | The same file is also available in the Code Files link on this tutorial page. |
02:07 | This is how the output looks like. |
02:11 | Go to the editor window.
Let us make a few changes in this code. |
02:17 | Next to the body tag type the following. |
02:21 | This is a single line comment. |
02:24 | Save the file. |
02:26 | Switch to the browser and refresh the page. |
02:30 | Observe that there are no changes. |
02:33 | This is because, the comment written inside the code did not get executed. |
02:38 | It is also possible to write multiline comments in our code. |
02:42 | Let us now learn how to do that. |
02:46 | Switch to the editor window |
02:49 | In the code, before the bold tag, type the begin comment tag, |
02:55 | Less than symbol exclamation hyphen hyphen |
02:59 | Then, before the body closing tag type the close comment tag,
hyphen hyphen greater than symbol |
03:07 | Note that the multiline comment starts here and ends here. |
03:13 | Save the file. |
03:15 | Switch to the browser and refresh the page. |
03:19 | Look at the output carefully.
You will notice that the last two lines have disappeared. |
03:25 | Recall, this is because the codes written in between the comment tags are not executed. |
03:32 | Let us come back to the editor window and undo the multiline comment. |
03:36 | Save the file. |
03:39 | Next we will look at some phrase tags that are used in HTML. |
03:44 | In this tutorial we will learn to use the following phrase tags- |
03:48 | Strong, Emphasized, Marked, Abbreviation, |
03:54 | Quote, Cite , Pre and Code |
04:00 | All these tags have a start and an end tag. |
04:04 | We will look at all these tags one by one. |
04:07 | Switch to the editor window. |
04:09 | Create a new HTML file named MyPage.html, with the code as shown here. |
04:16 | The same file is also available in the Code Files link on this tutorial page. |
04:22 | Come to the 2nd line inside the body section. |
04:26 | Here, I have used the abbreviation tag for the word HTML. |
04:31 | Inside the abbr start tag, I have mentioned HTML abbreviation in the title attribute. |
04:39 | Next in the paragraph section, I have written the text first paragraph within the mark tag. |
04:46 | A few lines below, I have used Strong Text inside the strong tag. |
04:51 | And I have used Emphasised Text inside the em tag. |
04:56 | Switch to the folder where we have saved the file. |
05:00 | Right click on mypage.html
Open the file in a web browser. |
05:06 | Observe the output. |
05:09 | Here in the 1st line we can see that the word HTML is underlined.
Hover the mouse on it. |
05:16 | We can see a tooltip with the abbreviation of HTML. |
05:21 | Next, the words first paragraph is highlighted. |
05:26 | Also notice that the words Strong Text is in bold and the words Emphasised text is in italic. |
05:35 | We have used strong tag and em tag in the code. |
05:40 | So the output shows the strong tag content in bold and the em tag content in italic. |
05:48 | The output of strong and bold and emphasize and italic tags are identical. |
05:55 | Bold and Italic tags are used to format the presentation. |
06:00 | Whereas Strong and emphasize tags gives more importance to the content. |
06:06 | These will also be helpful in Search Engine Optimization. |
06:11 | Switch to the editor window. |
06:14 | We can quote and cite the content with the help of q and cite tags respectively. |
06:21 | Here I have quoted a sentence and cited a website link for this section. |
06:27 | Switch to the browser. |
06:29 | Note that the quoted sentence is displayed inside the quotes.
And the cited content appears in italic. |
06:37 | To quote a sentence from a different source we have to use blockquote tag. |
06:42 | Note that we have to scroll through the width of the page, to view the entire sentence. |
06:48 | To avoid this scroll, I need to provide a break in this sentence. |
06:53 | Any guesses on which tag to use here?
Did you think of Break tag? |
06:58 | No, We have to use pre tag.
This will maintain the space, indentation and line breaks like the way it is written in the code. |
07:08 | Switch to the editor window. |
07:11 | Here we can see that I have used the pre tag for this section. |
07:16 | Let me break the sentence after the word creating. |
07:20 | Press Enter key on the keyboard to bring the remaining words to the next line. |
07:25 | Save the file. |
07:27 | Switch to the browser and refresh the page. |
07:31 | Observe the change in the output now. |
07:35 | pre tag helps us to display a program code on a web page. |
07:40 | It can be any programming language code. |
07:43 | For this, we have to use the code tag. |
07:46 | It helps in defining a snippet of code. |
07:50 | Else the browser will consider this as normal text. |
07:54 | Switch to the editor window. |
07:57 | Here inside our HTML code, I have written a simple C program inside the code tag. |
08:03 | I have written this code block inside the pre tag to maintain the indentations. |
08:08 | If you know C programming, you will note that there is a bug in the 1st line. |
08:14 | ampersand l t semi-colon and ampersand g t semi-colon instead of less than and greater than symbol.
These are called HTML Entities. |
08:26 | In HTML some characters are reserved. |
08:30 | The browser will consider those characters as a part of HTML syntax |
08:36 | We can use these reserved characters in the content in the form of HTML Entity. |
08:42 | The name or number of the entities have to be written in between ampersand and semicolon symbols. |
08:50 | Here are some common HTML entities which we use regularly. |
08:55 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
Let us summarize. |
09:00 | In this tutorial, we have learnt how to add Comments in HTML. |
09:05 | We also learnt about the following phrase tags used in HTML. |
09:10 | Comments, Strong text , Emphasized text , Marked text |
09:16 | Abbreviation, Quote, Cite , Pre tag, Code tag, Entities |
09:24 | As an assignment- Open the file MyHomePage.html which you created earlier. |
09:30 | Write a C program within this file as shown below. |
