I would like to Pre-format when I create a new HTML document so I can get some already link and meta tag on it . By default I have this pre format below but i would like to add more and take out some of the tag. Would you recommand me how to make it ?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
To improve the formatting of your HTML source code, you can use the Format Document command Ctrl+Shift+I to format the entire file or Format Selection Ctrl+K Ctrl+F to just format the selected text.

I used to be able to type "!+tab" at the beginning of a new HTML tab to create the basic layout of an HTML page
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Sunshine Seasonal Solutions</title>
</head>
etc.....
What could I have changed in the settings for the snippet to not work anymore?
Tried different settings in VS Code
Can anyone explain the difference between the different html options show in the vscode screenshot below? When to use each one. Thanks!
For me, html and html:xml only generate the opening and closing html tags.
html generates <html></html>
html:xml generates <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"></html>
But html:5 generates a basic boilerplate for any html5 compatible html file. It contains some basic stuff like, doctype, head, body, title tags etc.
html: create only <html></html> tag
html:5 : create a basic html 5 template as below
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
html:xml : Usually a <!DOCTYPE> declaration is used to distinguish between versions of HTMLish languages (in this case, HTML or XHTML). More detail about it
I'm just trying to post a simple html file consisting mainly of some prose I wrote inside of <pre> elements.
Interestingly, when I view the file on my computer with my browser, the quotation marks display fine. But when I upload it to my website, quotation marks are rendered as something like “ or â€. I have looked around the web for solutions but they were few and in between.
I tried to use the meta tag and included
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset="utf-8" />
to my header but to no avail. Any ideas on how to solve this? It just wouldn't make sense to go back to the content inside the elements and code it into html as the prose is a draft and will go through many changes in the future.
The <!doctype html> tag indicates the file is HTML5 - so the browser will render it as such. lang="en" should be set to the language you are working with. Be sure to use the <meta charset="utf-8"> tag to set the character set in the <head>
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Template</title>
</head>
<body>
<pre>This is my stuff</pre>
</body>
</html>
Check your code with the browser's View Source and use the Validator at https://validator.w3.org/ to check the page.
Here what I tried.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<pre>Einstein said,"Once you stop learning, you start dying"</pre>
</body>
</html>
I also tried only this
<body>
<pre>Einstein said,"Once you stop learning, you start dying"</pre>
</body>
Still working
I have linked my HTML code here. Why is it that when I open this file (locally) on my computer, some special characters will not show. For example, imagine I wrote this code: nwqidn wqindiwq dwqin <wiqndiw
When opened, the browser will not display the last line of gibberish (anything after and including the less-than symbol). I understand that the browser might have some confusion about when to end the tag, but surely the google browser is advanced enough to know the difference between the closing p tag and a random "<" symbol. I know that I can use the Unicode for "<" and it will display, but I'm trying to find a different solution. Is there any special something that I can put (maybe as metadata?) in my HTML file in order to solve this issue? Thanks in advance for any help.
Here's my entire code of the page below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" charset="utf-8">
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p> dniqwn qwnid wqudn <inwqd </p>
</body>
You can use < for 'less than' and > for 'greater than' to insert < and > into html.
Otherwise, as you say, the browser will think you're opening a tag.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" charset="utf-8">
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p> dniqwn qwnid wqudn <inwqd </p>
</body>
I want to display a special caracter but when i used <h2></h2> this caracter does not appear on the web-site page.
<h2>Aéroport Tunis Carthage </h2>
on the web-site the text is: Arport Tunis Carthage.
<h2>Aéroport Tunis Carthage</h2> will do it.
Handy info on encoding can be found here and info on html character entities here.
There are two ways for displaying special characters in HTML:
1) Using HTML entities. For example:
Aéroport
2) Encoding the source HTML file appropriately (e.g. using UTF-8) and then indicating such encoding in the HTML head:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<h2>Aéroport Tunis Carthage </h2>
</body>
</html>
Of course, you have to use a text editor capable of writing files in the desired encoding. Otherwise you should indicate in the <head> the encoding used by the editor.
Try adding this to your meta tags:
HTML4:
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">
HTML5:
<meta charset="UTF-8">

EXAMPLE:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- Meta Tag -->
<meta charset="UTF-8"> <!-- HTML5 -->
<title> Your title here </title>
</head>
