The <!DOCTYPE> declaration helps the browser to display a web page correctly. • The <!DOCTYPE> declaration tag is used by the web browser to understand the version of the HTML used in the document. Current version of HTML is 5 and it makes use of the following declaration: <!DOCTYPE html> • There are many other declaration types which can be used in HTML document depending on what version of HTML is being used.

- 12. Attribute Example <a href="http://www.google.com"> This is a link</a>
- 13. HTML Headings • Any document starts with a heading. You can use different sizes for your headings. HTML also has six levels of headings, which use the elements<h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, <h5>, and <h6>. While displaying any heading, browser adds one line before and one line after that heading. • <h1> defines the most important heading. <h6> defines the least important heading. <h1>This is a heading</h1> <h2>This is a heading</h2> <h3>This is a heading</h3>
- 14. HTML Lines • Horizontal lines are used to visually break up sections of a document. The <hr> tag creates a line from the current position in the document to the right margin and breaks the line accordingly. • The <hr>tag creates a horizontal line in an HTML page. • The hr element can be used to separate content.
- 15. Centering Content • You can use <center> tag to put any content in the center of the page or any table cell. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Centring Content Example</title> </head> <body> <p>This text is not in the center.</p> <center> <p>This text is in the center.</p> </center> </body> </html>
- 16. HTML Paragraphs • HTML documents are divided into paragraphs. • The <p> tag offers a way to structure your text into different paragraphs. Each paragraph of text should go in between an opening <p> and a closing </p> tag as shown below in the example: <p>This is a paragraph</p> <p>This is another paragraph</p>
- 17. HTML Line Breaks • Use the <br> tag if you want a line break (a new line) without starting a new paragraph. • Whenever you use the <br /> element, anything following it starts from the next line. This tag is an example of an empty element, where you do not need opening and closing tags, as there is nothing to go in between them. • The <br /> tag has a space between the characters br and the forward slash. If you omit this space, older browsers will have trouble rendering the line break, while if you miss the forward slash character and just use <br> it is not valid in XHTML.
