WDS8 - Use of Quotes and Comments

In the last article we learned following tags to enhance your HTML:
  • <b> and <strong> tags
  • <i> and <em> tags
  • <small>
  • <del>
  • <mark>
  • <ins>
  • <sup> and <sub> tags

Now let's move forward from styling and see some HTML elements so that we can write quotes in our documents comfortably.

HTML <q> tag for Short Quotations

This <q> tag defines a short quotation in HTML. This is mostly used for short inline quotations. Most of the browsers insert quotation marks(") before and after the content in quotation tags.

HTML <blockquote> tag for Large Quotations

This <blockquote> tag defines large quotations in HTML. Browsers usually indent the content inside <blockquote> tags.

HTML <abbr> for Abbreviations

HTML <abbr> tag defines an abbreviation. This tag requires one extra attribute called title. This attribute takes full form for that particular abbreviation as its value. The browser uses this full form as the tooltip when you hover over an abbreviation. It also helps browsers or search engines for useful information.

HTML <address> tag

Although it is not commonly used, It displays text inside it in italics and will add the line break before and after the content.

How to Write Comments in HTML

Comments are the great way for us(the coders) to know what we are doing in our code. This helps us to understand in later states to find how to improve our code. This comments will not be displayed in the browser, but they will help you while understanding course.
To write comment start your line with <!-- symbol(that is opening < followed by an exclamation mark and two dashes), write your comment and end with --> symbol (that is two dash followed by closing >).


That's all for this article.In the next part, we will learn about some new stuff in HTML. Comment on how you think this article is, what improvements should I do and for any doubts. Share with your friends and keep coding.

WDS85 - Animate the CSS(Part 3)

In the last two articles, we learned about animations in CSS and various ways to customize them with the help of iterations and animation delays. Now in today's article, we are going to learn more about them so that to customize them even more. Let's begin... Reverse Directions and Alternate Cycles The animation-direction property in CSS decides whether we want to play animation forward, backward or in alternate cycles. Following values are possible: normal - This is the default. Animation plays as normal(forward). reverse - The animation plays in reverse direction that is backward. alternate - The animation first plays forward and then backward. alternate-reverse - The animation first plays backward and then forward. Speed Curve of Animation Just like we used various ways to customize transitions in CSS some articles before, same functions can be used to change the speed of the animation. The animation-timing-function property specifies the speed curve o

WDS83 - Animate the CSS

Now in today's class, we are going to learn animations in CSS which creates animations without the use of javascript or flash. CSS Animations A CSS animation lets us change an element's style from one to another. We can change as many properties as we want. To use this CSS animations, we have to first specify some keyframe rules which include how and which properties are we changing. The @keyframes Rule When we specify CSS styles inside the  @keyframes rule, the animations will gradually change from current style to new style at certain times. To get these working, we must bind animations to an element. Let's understand more by an example... @keyframes myAnimation { from { background-color : blue ;} to { background-color : red ;} } div { width : 100px ; height : 100px ; background-color : b
