HTML Skeleton
A Skeleton is the supporting framework of an organism. It is typically made out of something hard, to protect a more vulnerable body.
Every Web developer should have an HTML skeleton.
It shold be kept in his pocket, and used for every job:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Page Title<title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href=" ">
<script src=" "></script>
<body>
<img src="img_la.jpg" style="width:100%">
<h1>This is a Heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
Click on the "Try it Yourself" button to see how it works!
Try to change the text "This is a Heading" to "This is my Wedding".
Did you make it?
Congratulations!
