Hello ! We have a comprehensive guide for editing articles on the HTML & CSS Wiki. It is important to read through the guide below to familiarize yourself with the best practices.

Official Language
The official language in this wiki is English. Therefore, all edits are expected to be written in English (unless it is necessary to do otherwise). This includes articles, forum posts, blogs, and talk pages. If your second language is English and you are not accustomed to correct grammar and sentence structure, we suggest you seek someone with expertise in the English language to assist you with the content you wish to provide here.

HTML
Hypertext Markup Language is the primary markup language used to create webpages. It provides an organized way of creating structured documents by using complex (but precise) coding to create and format text, headings, paragraphs, and other items.

An HTML element is an individual component of a document. Each element allows attributes to be specified and can have content, including other elements and text.
