HTML Exercise # 2: Images, fonts & colors
This week I learned more fun html stuff and the some practical things as well.
I also decided to start a Resources page where I’m going to add all of the links and references that I come across.
DOCTYPES
Document Type Declaration (aka DOCTYPE) helps browsers understand what version of HTML the page is using. Wikipedia defines it as:
“…an instruction that associates a particular SGML or XML document (for example, a webpage) with a Document Type Definition (DTD) (for example, the formal definition of a particular version of HTML). In the serialized form of the document, it manifests as a short string of markup that conforms to a particular syntax.”
For our exercise we were instructed to use HTML 4 Transitional, which made me wonder about the differences in all of the DOCTYPES … I’ll have to read up on this.
