Skeleton
Welcome
Welcome to the world-wide-what quest!
In this new digital world you're gonna discover, it is possible to create beings with some lines of code. Yes, it is.
Like a modern Dr Frankenstein, you're about to dive into the world-wide-what and give birth to a new entity on the virtual space of your browser.
During this quest, step by step, you are going to shape it.
But before coding anything, make sure you checked the videos of the playlist; you need to have a server running on your computer. For the whole quest, the principle is to iterate over your code: when you finish an exercise, copy-paste your code to use it in the next one.
Files naming
- for the HTML files:
name-of-the-exercise.html - for the CSS files: when you have to link one, you can manage it as you prefer, but for clarity we suggest you to create a CSS file for each HTML file, named like so:
name-of-the-exercise.css - for the JS files, when you have to link one, you can manage it as you prefer, but for clarity we suggest you to create a JS file for each HTML file, named like so:
name-of-the-exercise.js

Instructions
Ready? Let's code!
The first step to achieve in your quest is to conceive your being ; for that, 2 things have to be done:
- set some parameters (
<head>tag) - define the structure, or skeleton (
<body>tag)
Parameters
To create any project, some things need to be declared in the HTML file - those are not visible elements in your page, but things cannot work without them.
Set your page with <html> & <head> tags, and also put a <title> to name the entity you're going to create.
Structure
Now you have to define the skeleton of your future creation. Remember this as a general rule for any further project you will start: a good way of setting up a project is to think about all the elements needed, organize and divide them in blocks.
Let's define the first level of elements that your entity will be made of ; we're going to split it into 3 main chunks: the face, the upper body, and the lower body.
Inside the <body> tag of your HTML file, create 3 divisions using <section> tags, putting the following text content inside for each: face, upper-body, lower-body.
If you open you HTML file in the browser, you should see those 3 texts appear on the screen.
Code examples
Create a div tag with hello as text content inside the body:
<body>
<div>hello</div>
</body>
