HTML: HyperText Markup Language 编辑
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the most basic building block of the Web. It defines the meaning and structure of web content. Other technologies besides HTML are generally used to describe a web page's appearance/presentation (CSS) or functionality/behavior (JavaScript).
"Hypertext" refers to links that connect web pages to one another, either within a single website or between websites. Links are a fundamental aspect of the Web. By uploading content to the Internet and linking it to pages created by other people, you become an active participant in the World Wide Web.
HTML uses "markup" to annotate text, images, and other content for display in a Web browser. HTML markup includes special "elements" such as <head>
, <title>
, <body>
, <header>
, <footer>
, <article>
, <section>
, <p>
, <div>
, <span>
, <img>
, <aside>
, <audio>
, <canvas>
, <datalist>
, <details>
, <embed>
, <nav>
, <output>
, <progress>
, <video>
, <ul>
, <ol>
, <li>
and many others.
An HTML element is set off from other text in a document by "tags", which consist of the element name surrounded by "<
" and ">
". The name of an element inside a tag is case insensitive. That is, it can be written in uppercase, lowercase, or a mixture. For example, the <title>
tag can be written as <Title>
, <TITLE>
, or in any other way.

Key resources
- HTML Introduction
- If you're new to Web development, be sure to read our HTML Basics article to learn what HTML is and how to use it.
- HTML Tutorials
- For articles about how to use HTML, as well as tutorials and complete examples, check out our HTML Learning Area.
- HTML Reference
- In our extensive HTML reference section, you'll find the details about every element and attribute in HTML.
We have put together a course that includes all the essential information you need to work towards your goal.
Beginner's tutorials
Our HTML Learning Area features multiple modules that teach HTML from the ground up — no previous knowledge required.
- Introduction to HTML
- This module sets the stage, getting you used to important concepts and syntax such as looking at applying HTML to text, how to create hyperlinks, and how to use HTML to structure a web page.
- Multimedia and embedding
- This module explores how to use HTML to include multimedia in your web pages, including the different ways that images can be included, and how to embed video, audio, and even entire other webpages.
- HTML tables
- Representing tabular data on a webpage in an understandable, accessible way can be a challenge. This module covers basic table markup, along with more complex features such as implementing captions and summaries.
- HTML forms
- Forms are a very important part of the Web — these provide much of the functionality you need for interacting with websites, e.g. registering and logging in, sending feedback, buying products, and more. This module gets you started with creating the client-side/front-end parts of forms.
- Use HTML to solve common problems
- Provides links to sections of content explaining how to use HTML to solve very common problems when creating a web page: dealing with titles, adding images or videos, emphasizing content, creating a basic form, etc.
Advanced topics
- CORS enabled image
- The
crossorigin
attribute, in combination with an appropriate CORS header, allows images defined by the<img>
element to be loaded from foreign origins and used in a<canvas>
element as if they were being loaded from the current origin. - CORS settings attributes
- Some HTML elements that provide support for CORS, such as
<img>
or<video>
, have acrossorigin
attribute (crossOrigin
property), which lets you configure the CORS requests for the element's fetched data. - Preloading content with rel="preload"
- The
preload
value of the<link>
element'srel
attribute allows you to write declarative fetch requests in your HTML<head>
, specifying resources that your pages will need very soon after loading, which you therefore want to start preloading early in the lifecycle of a page load, before the browser's main rendering machinery kicks in. This ensures that they are made available earlier and are less likely to block the page's first render, leading to performance improvements. This article provides a basic guide to howpreload
works.

- HTML consists of elements, each of which may be modified by some number of attributes. HTML documents are connected to each other with links.

- HTML attribute reference
- Elements in HTML have attributes. These are additional values that configure the elements or adjust their behavior in various ways.
- Global attributes
- Global attributes may be specified on all HTML elements, even those not specified in the standard. This means that any non-standard elements must still permit these attributes, even though those elements make the document HTML5-noncompliant.
- Inline elements and block-level elements
- HTML elements are usually "inline" or "block-level" elements. An inline element occupies only the space bounded by the tags that define it. A block-level element occupies the entire space of its parent element (container), thereby creating a "block."
- Link types
- In HTML, various link types can be used to establish and define the relationship between two documents. Link elements that types can be set on include
<a>
,<area>
and<link>

elements allow you to play audio and video media natively within your content without the need for external software support. - HTML content categories
- HTML is comprised of several kinds of content, each of which is allowed to be used in certain contexts and is disallowed in others. Similarly, each has a set of other content categories they can contain and elements that can or can't be used in them. This is a guide to these categories.
