Tables

Tables are comprised 4 elements: <table>, <tr>, <th>, and <td>
Tables are a way of structuring data into rows and columns.

Example Table structure:

<h1>Grocery List</h1>
<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Fruit</th>
    <th>Grains</th>
    <th>Dairy</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Apples</td>
    <td>White Rice</td>
    <td>Milk</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Bananas</td>
    <td>Oatmeal</td>
    <td>Yogurt</td>
  </tr>
</table>

The Result

Grocery List

Fruit	Grains	Dairy
Apples	White Rice	Milk
Bananas	Oatmeal	Yogurt

2. is ordered

  <li>Pizza</li>
  <li>Pasta</li>
  <li>Bread</li>
</ul>

The Result

Commenting with HTML

Commenting is important in any form of coding.
Comments help both you and others to better understand the intent of the code.
Especially helpful when reviewing large amounts of code.

Comments in HTML are not read by browsers. They use the following syntax:

Note that no closing tag is necessary. Comments can also be used to temporarily disable a block of code. For example:

<!-- I don't want this to be shown because it is silly
<body>
    <div>
        <p>I do not want this content to be shown</p>
        <img src="/images/dog-pic.jpg" alt="this is a doggo" title="Doggo">
    </div>
</body>
-->

This code is ignored, as it is within a comment tag.
