All 18 flashcards from this kit, free and with no sign-up.
1. What does HTML stand for?
Show the answer
**HyperText Markup Language**
2. Is HTML a programming language?
Show the answer
No. HTML is a **markup language** — it describes the structure of content and does not calculate, decide or loop.
3. What characters enclose every HTML tag?
Show the answer
**Angle brackets** `< >`
4. How does a closing tag differ from an opening tag?
Show the answer
The closing tag contains a **forward slash** `/` — for example `<p>` opens and `</p>` closes.
5. What is an empty tag? Give two examples.
Show the answer
A tag with **no closing partner**, such as `<br>` (line break) and `<img>` (image).
6. Which two main sections sit inside the `<html>` root?
Show the answer
The **`<head>`** (information about the page) and the **`<body>`** (everything visible on the page).
7. Which tag controls the text shown on the browser tab?
Show the answer
The **`<title>`** tag, which lives inside the `<head>`.
8. How many heading levels does HTML provide, and which is largest?
Show the answer
**Six** levels, from `<h1>` (largest, most important) down to `<h6>` (smallest).
9. Which tag creates a paragraph, and does the browser add spacing?
Show the answer
The **`<p>`** tag. The browser automatically adds space above and below a paragraph.
10. What happens to extra spaces and line breaks typed inside HTML code?
Show the answer
HTML **collapses** them into a single space — extra whitespace does not change the page.
11. Which tag creates a hyperlink, and which attribute holds the destination?
Show the answer
The **`<a>`** tag, with the **`href`** attribute: `<a href="https://www.example.com">Visit</a>`.
12. Which tag embeds an image, and which attribute holds the file path?
Show the answer
The **`<img>`** tag, with the **`src`** attribute: `<img src="school.jpg">`.
13. How is an attribute written inside an opening tag?
Show the answer
As **`name="value"`** — for example `href="page.html"` or `src="photo.jpg"`.
14. Which tags build an unordered list, and which build an ordered list?
Show the answer
**`<ul>`** for an unordered (bulleted) list and **`<ol>`** for an ordered (numbered) list; each item uses **`<li>`**.
15. State the HTML nesting rule for closing tags.
Show the answer
Close tags in the **reverse order** you opened them — like nesting boxes. Open `<p>` then `<b>`, close `</b>` first, then `</p>`.
16. What does HTML describe, and what do CSS and JavaScript add?
Show the answer
HTML describes **structure**; **CSS** styles the page and **JavaScript** adds interactivity.
17. What is the *hypertext* part of HTML actually about?
Show the answer
Text that **links to other text** — the `<a>` tag lets a reader jump from one page to another.
18. Why can you not format a page by pressing Enter inside your HTML code?
Show the answer
Because HTML **ignores extra whitespace** — structure comes from tags such as `<br>` and `<p>`, not from spacing.
