The Architect's Reference: HTML Tags & Elements

Go beyond the basics with a practical look at the most powerful HTML tags used by professional engineers today.

Typography and Hierarchy

Text is the primary way we share information. Choosing the right tags ensures your story is told correctly. Never use an <h2> just because you want big text — use it because it is a sub-header of your <h1>.

<h1>Main Headline (One per page!)</h1>
<h2>Major Section</h2>
<p>This is where the story lives. Using <strong>bold</strong> and <em>italics</em> add emphasis.</p>

Handling Rich Multimedia

Pictures tell a thousand words, but only if they load correctly. Modern HTML allows us to handle high-resolution images and videos with ease while maintaining fast performance.

  <figcaption>The ultimate developer environment.</figcaption>

The Web is a Web: Links

The "Hypertext" in HTML refers to links. They are the connections that build the internet. Using target="_blank" for external sites keeps users on your platform while letting them explore the world.

Lists and Data Tables

Whether it's a feature list or a pricing table, structure is key. Use Unordered Lists (<ul>) for bullet points and Ordered Lists (<ol>) for step-by-step guides.
