Layout Basics

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) defines the structure and content of web pages, forming the skeleton of a webpage.

The layout refers to the arrangement of a page's structure and information.


Review of Basic HTML Structure

An HTML document, which makes up a webpage, has the following basic structure:

Basic HTML Structure
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <!-- Basic information of the webpage --> <title>Page Title</title> </head> <body> <!-- The part visible to the user --> </body> </html>

The <head> contains metadata and styles for the document, while the <body> contains the content visible to the user.


Block Elements and Inline Elements

HTML elements are broadly divided into Block elements and Inline elements.

  1. Block Elements: Block elements occupy the full width of the page and each element starts on a new line. Elements such as <div>, <h1>, and <p> are block elements.
