// THE POINT THIS WEEK
Tags, elements, nesting. The document skeleton. Common tags.
// TALKING POINTS
HTML marks meaning
- A tag labels what content is, not how it looks
- An element is the opening tag, the content, and the closing tag
- Nesting must be clean: close the inner thing before the outer thing
The skeleton
- doctype, html, head, body: every page ever, same bones
- head describes the page; body is the page
- Type the skeleton until your fingers know it without you
