On our li
tags we've added the attribute called class
.
The thing on the right side of
the =
sign is what the tag's "class name" is.
While we might have multiple instances of a class member (many songs
) there's
only one description
paragraph. HTML with an id
attributes have to be
unique. Because we used the name description
here we can't use it anywhere
else in the document.
Now that you are an HTML author, we're going to show some some sentences that will help you gain comfort with the vocab that HTML authors say to one another.
The goal is to help you gain an intuition about talking about writing HTML. You're not expected to memorize these phrases. Each phrase is a statement which HTML authors might use to express what's going on in this experience we just created.
- The HTML file
my_list.html
is called the "HTML file" or the source text - Inthe HTML file, content and markup exist together and are visible in our text editor
- When HTML source text (or, HTML source) is viewed by a browser, it becomes rendered text
- The viewing tab is now showing a rendered view of our HTML source text
- The HTML elements ("the angle brackets") that define the markup are used to lay out the page while our content is displayed or "rendered"
- The HTML elements ("the angle brackets") are removed because their function is to format the content, not be the content itself
- Our viewing tab shows the rendered text (or, render) of our HTML source text
- In the viewing tab we can view the source text that it rendered At this point we've worked with HTML some and have learned four very important terms used by HTML authors.
