Other tips for HTML Beginners

1. Use a Modern Text Editor
Tools like Visual Studio Code (VS Code) provide syntax highlighting,
autocompletion, and other helpful features. VS Code also supports Emmet for
faster HTML and CSS coding.
2. Utilize Emmet
Emmet is a plugin available in many text editors that allows you to write HTML
and CSS more quickly. For example, typing ul>li*5 and then pressing 'Tab'
will create a <ul> element with five <li> children as shown below:
<ul>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
</ul>
Copy
3. Indent Your Code
Properly indenting your code makes it more readable. Most modern text editors
offer automatic indentation.
4. Always Close Tags
Make sure to close all of your HTML tags. This helps to avoid unexpected
rendering issues.
5. Learn CSS and JavaScript
Understanding CSS and JavaScript can help you create more dynamic and
visually appealing websites. Consider studying them alongside HTML.
6. Use Comments Wisely
Comments can be helpful for leaving notes and reminders in your code, or for
temporarily disabling a section of HTML.
7. Practice Regularly
Like any skill, practice makes perfect. Try building different types of web pages
to improve your understanding and proficiency in HTML.
8. Learn about Responsive Design
Responsive design ensures that your website looks good on all devices. Learning
about media queries and flexible grid layouts is essential for modern web
development.
