The Ultimate HTML Cheat-Sheet!

CodeCoda LTD By 58 Minutes

There are over 110 HTML tags. You shouldn't however fear the number. It is just facts. It is also a fact that you may not be able to remember all the tags (even HTML gurus do not). We tend to remember the commonly used tags, but struggle with lesser used ones. Not just the tags, but also, it's appropriate use scenarios.

As a beginner web developer, or even an expert, the best you can do is to have a cheat sheet handy which you can refer to when you're stuck.
In this article, we present a comprehensive list of HTML5 tags. Parent tags have their sub tags and attributes. This cheat sheet is structured to also help you understand HTML5 flow and outline. Think of it as a crash course in HTML5 that got everything you need.

Table of contents

Document Summary

<html>

This is the root of the document. It is the beginning and end of every html document. Every other thing within the document - APIs, external links, meta descriptions, scripts, and content to be displayed on a browser page is contained within this tag.

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
<head> 
  <meta charset="utf-8"> 
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> 
  <title>A new title</title> 
</head> 
<body> 
   <div> 
      <!-- div stuff goes here --> 
  </div>   
  <img/>   
  <p> 
    <!-- paragraphs--> 
  </p>  
</body> 
</html>

<head>

The head contains specific information about a particular page. The following tags - title, meta, script, link, base and style are all found within the head tag.
The head tag also contains global attributes. External links to stylesheets, APIs, scripts, fonts and frameworks are all contained within the head tag.

<title>

This is simply the tag that defines the name of a particular webpage. This name appears in the browser's tab and tells the user and browser what the webpage is about.

<body>

Body tag defines the main body of a html page. It holds everything displayed on the browser.

Document information

<!doctype>

This is the first line written on every HTML5 document. It is an information to the browser, telling it the HTML document is written in HTML5 and ensures that all formats and tags for HTML5 are displayed as expected.
The doctype for HTML5 is simply <!Doctype> and it is case insensitive. It can be written as <!Doctype html>, <!doctype html>, <!DocType html>, <docType html> or any other variation

<link>

This tag is found within the head tag and it defines the relationship of a document with external pages, links, fonts, or stylesheets.
It has attributes like rel (which stands for relationship), href and preconnect. Rel defines relationships with the links, href specifies the URL, and preconnect tells the browser the document needs to establish connection with another page (mainly to include external resources like JavaScript or CSS files).

<head> 
  <title>Head links </title> 
   
  <!-- links to google fonts --> 
  <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com"> 
  <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin> 
  <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:wght@100&display=swap" rel="stylesheet"> 
   
  <!-- link to external css --> 
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="homepage.css" type="text/css">
</head>

<base>

This tag specifies the base URL for sites with many internal links. When a base url is specified, the links within the document do not have to be absolute - meaning typed out in full. 

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
<head> 
  <title>Base URL</title>   
  <base href="https://www.codecoda.com/en/" target="_blank">   
</head>
<body>
  <p>As part of its services, CodeCoda has <a href="tech-expertise/business-intelligence-bi">business intelligence</a> section which helps 
    companies with their business intelligence. The includes <a href="/shopware-ecommerce">ecommerce</a></p>
</body> 
</html>

<script>

This tag links an external JavaScript file to the document. It uses the src, and type attributes primarily to do this.
This tag also appears within the body of a html document, and it is used to embed JavaScript within the document.

<script src="animationjs.js"></script>

<noscript>

This tag is for users who have disabled their JS script in their browsers. The content of this script will be displayed on their browser instead of the Javascript content.
Just like <script>, it can be used in the head or body of a document.

<html>
<body>
  <script>
    document.write("Hello World!")
  </script>
  <noscript>Sorry, your browser does not support JavaScript!</noscript>
<!-- For browsers with their javascript displayed, the text between <noscript></noscript> will display.-->
</body>
</html>

<style>

This defines head styling information for CSS 

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
<head> 
  <title>Styling </title> 
  <style> 
    h3{ 
      color: blue; 
      font-family: "Tahoma" 
    } 
  </style>                    
</head> 
<body>
  <h3> 
    This is codecoda website
  </h3> 
</body> 
</html>

<meta>

This is a description markup that describes the main/additional information about a page. It is very useful to search engines in getting key information like character encoding, author, keywords, and page description of a page. It also sets the viewport and initial scale of a webpage. 

<head> 
  <meta charset="UTF-8"> 
  <meta name="description" content="CodeCode website"> 
  <meta name="keywords" content="HTML,CSS,AI,JavaScript, Technology and web development"> 
  <meta name="author" content="Andreas Maier"> 
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> 
</head>

Text formatting

<strong>

This indicates strong emphasis or importance to a text. The text is displayed in bold.

<em>

This is an emphasis markup which places emphasis on a text. The text is usually displayed in italics.

<b>

This makes a text bold. The difference between <b> and <strong> is that <b> only makes a text bold and does not place emphasis on it.

<i>

This adds italics to a text. Unlike <em>, <i> does not add emphasis to the italicized text. 

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
<head> 
  <meta charset="utf-8"> 
  <title>Text formatting</title> 
</head> 
<body> 
  <div> 
    <strong> This is a text with importance </strong><br/> 
    <em> This is a text with emphasis. It is usually italicized </em><br> 
    <b> This is a bold text </b><br/> 
    <i> This is a text with italics </i><br/> 
  </div>
</body> 
</html>

<s>

This defines a text that is no longer correct or relevant. Text with <s> appears striked through.

<del>

This defines a text deleted from a document. Just like <s>, it has a strikethrough. It can be used with <ins> to insert new text in place of the deleted ones.

<ins>

<ins> stands for insert and it inserts new text to a document. The new text is usually underlined. 

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
<head> 
  <title>Text formatting</title> 
</head> 
<body> 
  <div> 
    <s>PROMO</s> Now $10 per shirt 
    <p>You can only get a certificate from <del>a prestigious university</del> taking notable online courses to earn good money.</p>
    <p>Ronaldo is a <del>Manchester</del> <ins>Juventus</ins> player.</p>
  </div> 
</body> 
</html>

<cite>

Defines a text that references external creative works and cites it's authors or publishers. It must include the title of the work.
Cite is different from quotes because it notes a creative work and needs <q> and <blockquote> to include references to the quoted material.

Creative works that can be cited included

  • A book
  • Research papers
  • A Facebook post
  • A web page
  • A blog
  • Written or oral statement
  • A painting etc.

Cited text is generally italicized.

<q>

This defines a short, inline quote from another source. Unlike <blockquote>, it doesn't cause a break and is not indented.

<blockquote>

This defines a long quoted text from a different source. The text is generally indented into a block by the browser.
Blockquote is often used with <cite> to quote a source and cite it's author or publisher.

<!DOCTYPE html>

Document structure

<h1> to <h6>

These are different heading levels. They are used as headlines to either draw attention to text or as section within HTML documents. They take a down-top approach as h1 is the largest and h6 the smallest. There are additional aspects to the use of H elements with a document, as they provide gradual hierarchy to documents, defining the importance and indentation of content blocks to search engines. H elements can be styled using CSS to additional differentiation as required by the respective webpage. 

<body> 
  <h1> 
    Text with h1 
  </h1> 
  <h2> 
    Text with h2 
  </h2> 
  <h3> 
    Text with h3 
  </h3> 
  <h4> 
    Text with h4 
  </h4> 
  <h5> 
    Text with h5 
  </h5> 
  <h6> 
    Text with h6 
  </h6> 
</body>

<p>

This defines a text paragraph. It does not follow the formatting in the source code and displays as one long line of text and only breaks at the end of the closing tag.

<div>

Div is one of the most popular and widely used tags. It is used to divide a document into sections, blocks and it can be styled to create the layout of a document.
Div contains every other element that can be displayed within the browser, including other divs. Thus <div> elements can be nested in a literally undefined depth. Divs are responsible for most modern Layouts found in web design.

<span>

Span is an inline form of div. It is used to style, inject or markup other parts of a document but without a break in formatting.

<br/>

This is a line break. It doesn't have a closing tag.

<hr/>

This defines a horizontal line anywhere in the body of the document.

Anchor tags (links)

Links are usually written with anchor <a> tags but with different attributes, which we will look at. By default anchor tags are displayed with a blue font and underlined. Please refer to this separate tutorial to style Links.

<a href=" ">

This is a hyperlink tag that takes a user to the page specified on the link. The href is an attribute of the anchor tag and it defines the actual link or URL.
The anchor tag is wrapped around any other tag - image, text, buttons or objects that are expected to be clickable.
Anchor tags can have titles as attributes which displays when the mouse is hovered over the link.

<!doctype html> 
<body> 
  <div> 
    <a href="https://codecoda.com/en">Visit us at CodeCoda</a><br/> 
    <!-- clickable button --> 
    <button><a href="">Submit</a><button> 
   
    <!--images with links are clickable and can take you to the url specified in the anchor tag --> 
    <a href="#"><img src="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/04/23/22/00/tree-736885__480.jpg"/></a>  
     
    <!-- a link with title --> 
    <a href="#" title="CodeCoda home page">Visit us</a><br/>           
  </div>
</body>
</html>

<a href="mailto">

The mailto is a type of link specifically for email addresses. Email address links can contain subject and even body.
Note that: these extra features are designed to send emails from installed email clients like Outlook. Browser based email will neither nor send the emails directly from the link.

<html> 
<body> 
  <div>
    <a href="mailto:info@codecoda.com">Send us an email</a><br/> 
   
    <!--to add a subject to the email --> 
    <a href="mailto:info@codecoda.com?subject=Testing this mailto subject line">Email with subject</a><br/> 
 
    <!-- to add a body to the email --> 
    <a href="mailto:info@codecoda.com?subject=Testing this mailto subject line&body=Testing the body!">Email with subject line and body</a><br/>  
  </div>
</body> 
</html>

<a href="tel:">

This makes telephone numbers clickable. If a web page is accessed from a mobile, a user could dial the number instantly from their phone dial app.

<html> 
<body> 
  <div> 
    Call us <a href="tel:+123 335 992 43">+123 335 992 43</a> 
  </div>
</body> 
</html>

<a name=" "> and <a href="#name">

<a name=""> creates a named anchor link that links to specific sections of a page. <a href="#name"> is the name attached to the specific section of that page, and on which users will be redirected to.
This style of linking is called a bookmark and done on a page with very long text, but distinct headlines or sections. They are popularly used for Table of Contents, where the entire content is one one page, but the links point to different topics.
Instead of a name, they could also be used with an id.

<html> 
<body> 
  <div> 
    <h3> Table of Contents </h3>
