These attributes, classes, and IDs allow you to identify specific elements, modify individual elements and groups of elements, and set the characteristics of the elements. - *Attributes* specify properties of elements. Elements can have multiple attributes. For example, a link (\`\`, remember?) will can include an \`href = ""\` that specifies the link destination alongside the attribute \`target = "_blank"\` which instructs the web browser to open the link in a new tab. - *Class* is a special attribute that identifies a group of elements that operate similarly or work in the same fashion. These are specified using the \`class = "classname"\`. The advantage of this is that you can efficiently specify the same style or behavior for many elements. - *ID* is an attribute that identifies unique features. In other words: if you specify \`id = "specialthing"\`, there should be no other elements with the id specialthing. Each ID should be unique. This allows you to specify operations and styles that are unique to that feature. `34:[] 31:{"id":"795e74af434bc1e3","slug":"week-1a-introduction-to-html-and-javascript","title":"Week 1a - Introduction to HTML and Javascript","thumbnail":"978ec3046c43f40680877bd084f2b628cce3780e76f6cd152313a145cfd2361d","access_level":"public","create_time":"$D2019-02-11T15:28:12.404Z","update_time":"$D2019-02-13T14:42:50.316Z","view_time":null,"first_public_time":"$D2019-02-13T15:18:48.625Z","has_unpublished_edits":null,"fork":true,"stars":0,"starred":false,"owner":{"type":"team","id":"118707bae43d04bd","login":"ycfan","name":"Yichun Fan","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/3c2a9699bc5ef7945d2a1157d4279e42c8c05d19150eb82212ad1912f3fe1d91","tier":"starter_2024"},"version":2572,"publish_version":2572,"role":null,"authored":false,"authors":[{"type":"individual","id":"454774dcd3837d32","login":"ycfan","name":"Yichun Fan","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/3c2a9699bc5ef7945d2a1157d4279e42c8c05d19150eb82212ad1912f3fe1d91","tier":null}],"members":[{"type":"individual","id":"454774dcd3837d32","login":"ycfan","name":"Yichun Fan","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/3c2a9699bc5ef7945d2a1157d4279e42c8c05d19150eb82212ad1912f3fe1d91","tier":null,"role":"editor"}],"comments":[],"custom_thumbnail":false,"trashed":false,"lapsed":null,"subscribed":null,"forks":0,"collection":{"id":"c98a101e476060ee","slug":"big-data-and-visualization","title":"Big data and visualization","owner":{"id":"118707bae43d04bd","login":"ycfan","name":"Yichun Fan"}},"type":"notebook","body":{"title":"Week 1a - Introduction to HTML and Javascript","cells":[{"id":554,"value":"md`# Week 1a - Introduction to HTML and Javascript`","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"$undefined","database":"$undefined"},{"id":2554,"value":"md`**Please fill out this survey!**\n\n## https://bit.ly/2RW13Qq`","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"$undefined","database":"$undefined"},{"id":664,"value":"md`## HTML: The Core Concepts\n\nHTML stands for [HyperText Markup Language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML), which creates a structure to hold the content of your webpage; it does this using what it calls elements.\n\nAll HTML documents start with the following line of code:\n`","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"$undefined","database":"$undefined"},{"id":715,"value":"html``\n//any html file starts with this line","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"$undefined","database":"$undefined"},{"id":2560,"value":"md`This is a markdown cell`\n//md means mark down","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"$undefined","database":"$undefined"},{"id":722,"value":"md`\nThis tag is a way of giving your browser an explicit heads up that it should expect to be interpreting and displaying HTML.\n\nHTML is a markup framework language and is the lingua franca of the internet.

\\` tag. This tag is used to separate out a division or section of an HTML page. One page can contain many such elements, and they can nest endlessly. We can also create groups of inline elements (multiple elements that should appear on the same line) using the \\`\\` tag.\n\nNeither divs nor spans have any inherent form, meaning that they are used to group content into containers (or divisions) that are styled and placed using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). CSS is a styling language used for describing the style of an HTML page. We will introduce it in the next step.\n\n`","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"$undefined","database":"$undefined"},{"id":823,"value":"html`\n

Span allows you to classify and style similar elements throughout a page, like location names, ingredients, or key terms, inline.
