HTML Syntax Reference

This is a basic guide to often-used or useful HTML Syntax references. It is by no means complete, and is meant as a reference only.

To prevent the code examples from working on the page (& therefore not being of any use to you as a tutorial....) I have added extra spaces between some of the ends ("< "and "> ")

Important For XHTML 1.0 standards compliance: All tags should be in lowercase.

No Follow Links (useful for SEO to prevent loss of "link-juice", plus also for affiliate links or paid links etc - to prevent penalization by Google....)	< a rel="nofollow" href="PUT-FULL-URL-LINK-HERE" target="_blank">TITLE OF YOUR LINK</a >-	-
Return / Go To Top (of Page or Post, etc)	Just add # on the end of the URL - Example: ....your-site.com/article/#	Return to top
