Many HTML tags can be used to create an HTML page. In past versions of
HTML, tags that specifically instructed the web browser on how to render
the HTML page (for example, <font> and <center>) were very popular. However, as
browser standards have become more restrictive in the past decade, those
types of tags have been pushed aside, and the use of CSS (Cascading Style
Sheets) has been adopted as the primary way to style HTML content.
Because this book is not about creating HTML pages (that is, pages that
don’t have Canvas in them), we are not going to discuss the inner workings
of CSS.
We will focus on only two of the most basic HTML tags: <div> and <canvas>.
