Importance of Indentation and Comments
Indentation is not just about making your code look pretty. It’s about readability and maintainability.
HTML Indentation
Proper indentation makes your code easier to understand, helping others (and future you) to quickly grasp the structure of your code. Let’s look at an example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My First Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to My Page</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>See how the indentation makes it clear what elements are nested within others? That’s the power of proper indentation!
HTML Comments
Comments, on the other hand, are like your code’s diary. They explain why certain decisions were made, making it easier for others to understand your thought process. Here’s how you can add comments in HTML:
