Definition and
Usage
The doctype declaration
should be the very first
thing in an HTML
document, before the
<html> tag.
The doctype declaration
is not an HTML tag; it is
an instruction to the
web browser about
what version of the
markup language the
page is written in.
The doctype declaration
refers to a Document
Type Definition (DTD).
The DTD specifies the
rules for the markup
language, so that the
browsers can render
the content correctly.
<a> <a STF
href="[Link]
[Link]">Visi
t [Link]!
</a>
Definition and
Usage
The <a> tag defines an
anchor. An anchor can
be used in two ways:
To create a link to
another
document, by
using the href
attribute
To create a bookmark
inside a
document, by
using the name
attribute
The a element is
usually referred to as a
link or a hyperlink.
The most important
attribute of the a
element is the href
attribute, which
indicates the link’s
destination.
By default, links will
appear as follows in all
browsers:
An unvisited link is
underlined and
blue
A visited link is
underlined and
purple
An active link is
underlined and
red
<abbr> The <abbr STF
title="World
Health
Organization">WHO<

systems and search-
engines.

<acronym title="as
soon as
possible">ASAP</ac
ronym>?
