This repository contains a structured HTML documentation project focused on explaining HTML from first principles: how documents are structured, how elements relate to each other, and why certain patterns exist.
The goal is clarity and correctness, not flashy tutorials or copy-paste snippets.
- A foundational HTML reference, written in a logical, topic-based structure
- Focused on:
- Document structure
- Nesting and hierarchy
- Semantics and meaning
- Headings and outlines
- Core content elements
- Code quality and best practices
- Designed to teach how HTML works, not just how to “get something on screen”
This project emphasizes mental models over memorization.
- ❌ Not a full learning tool like freeCodeCamp, MDN, or W3Schools
- ❌ Not a beginner-only step-by-step course
- ❌ Not complete in depth for every topic (yet)
Some sections are introductory stubs that define concepts clearly but will be expanded later.
- ✅ Topic coverage is broad and well-structured
- ✅ Navigation and hierarchy are intentional and scalable
- 🟡 Some sections are short by design (definitions & overviews)
- 🟡 Some sections still need:
- More explanation
- More examples
- Clearer “why this matters” context
Structurally comprehensive, content-wise still evolving.
Many HTML resources either:
- Oversimplify (“just use this tag”), or
- Overwhelm learners with disconnected details
This project aims to sit in between by explaining:
- Why HTML is written the way it is
- How structure affects meaning, accessibility, and maintainability
- Semantic navigation with expandable sections
- Topic grouping based on conceptual relationships
- Examples written using escaped HTML (
<,>) - Attributes highlighted consistently for readability
- Learners who know basic HTML tags and want deeper understanding
- Developers who want a clean mental model of HTML
- Anyone tired of HTML “cheatsheets” with no explanation
- Expand shorter sections with deeper explanations
- Add more examples and edge cases
