1. /b <strong>: This is like a magic word that makes your words look stronger (or bolder). You put the words you want to be bold between <strong> and </strong>. It’s like saying, “Hey, pay attention to this!”
2. i <em>: This is a magic word that makes your words look fancy (or italic). You put the words you want to be italic between <em> and </em>. It’s like whispering a secret.
3. link <a href=>: This is like a magic portal that takes you to another place on the internet. You put the web address of the place you want to go between the quotes in <a href="https://YOURLINK.com"> and this text will be hyperlinked </a>. It’s like drawing a map to a treasure.
4. b-quote <blockquote>: This is a magic box that shows you’re using someone else’s words. You put their words between <blockquote> and this text is said by someone else </blockquote>. It’s like saying, “These aren’t my words, they’re someone else’s.”
5. del <del datetime=>: This is a magic eraser that shows you’ve deleted something, but still lets you see what was there before. You put the words you want to delete between <del> and this text will be shown as a stripe through </del>. It’s like crossing something out with a pencil but still being able to see it.
6. img <img src="https://linktoanimage.jpg" alt="a short and snappy description about the image like two man holding a shark" />: This is a magic picture frame that lets you put a picture on a webpage. You put the web address of the picture you want to show in the quotes after src= and write a short description of the picture in the quotes after alt=. It’s like hanging a picture on a wall.
7. ul <ul> and ol <ol>: These are magic words that let you make a list. The ul makes a list with bullet points and the ol makes a list with numbers. You put the items in your list between <ul> and </ul> or <ol> and </ol> (see examples below). It’s like making a list of things to do or a list of your favorite foods.
8. li <li>: This is a magic word that lets you add items to your list. You put the item you want to add between <li> and </li>. It’s like writing down one thing on your list.
9. code : This is a magic box that shows you’re using special computer words (code). You put the code you want to show between the backticks enter your code here like css, html etc. It’s like saying, “This is a special language only computers understand.”
10. close tags: This is like saying “The End” when you’re done using one of the magic words. For example, if you’re done making your words look strong, you would type </strong> to tell the computer you’re done.
