body element contains the visible content of the web page, such as headings, images, videos. It is written as the second element nested inside the html element, immediately after the head element.

These pieces of information are the absolute basics of HTML. In the next lesson, we will start adding the first content to our web page, including headings, paragraphs, lists, as well as formatted text and comments. Exciting times ahead!

21:T42a,

In HTML, we can't simply use Enter for line breaks, but we use the special br tag for that.

This tag is special because it consists only of an opening tag. It has no content or closing tag.

This text:

<p>Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,<br>Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore -<br>While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,<br>As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.<br>'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, 'tapping at my chamber door -<br>Only this and nothing more.'"</p>

Will be displayed like this:

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore -
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, 'tapping at my chamber door -
Only this and nothing more.'

22:T400,

We can display text in lists, whether numbered or unordered. Numbered lists are created using the ol element with li children, where the ol element represents the start and end of the list, and the li element(s) represent individual list items.

This code:

<ol>
	<li>I am the first item in the list!</li>
	<li>I am the second item in the list!</li>
</ol
