CSS Classes & Stylesheets

CSS Classes are basically Hashtags which decide the Look of any little Thing on a Website.

I add CSS Classes to most Elements on my Website
so that the Web Browser can pick out the right Styles to add to every Element.

How exactly the Tags change the Elements’ Looks, i write in separate Files called CSS Stylesheets.

Markup Languages

Markup is a whole Category of Text Format
which don’t just store Text but also Information about the Structure (and sometimes Style) of the Text.
And they still only use Characters on the Keyboard.

That makes Markup Files easy to type with any Text Editor
but also easy for Computers to display into a more beautiful Form.

The Markup Language of Websites is HTML 5.

Markup Languages (more detailed Description, Comic Metaphor)

To help grasp the Concept of Markup Languages,
that anyone must understand to make a Website:

Imagine you are @PrincessDoit
except you don’t make your Comics directly as Images.
You write a detailed Description of every Thing that a Comic Browser should place into your Comic.

Every one of those “Objects” stores all the relevant Data.
For Example, a Panel Object would store the Filename of its Background Image, maybe a Text Desciption of the Scene, and every other Object inside the Panel.
A Character Object would store the Filename and Position of its Character Image, and maybe a Text Description of how the Character looks like and feels.
And a Speech Balloon Object would store its Text, a Link to the Character Object it’s attached to, and its Position relative to the Character.

Replace the Comic Browser with an Internet Browser,
Panel Objects with Headings,
Character Objects with Images,
and Speech Balloon Objects with Paragraphs,
then you get exactly how Websites are made.
