| Color Hex Code | A color hex code is a hexadecimal way to represent a color in RGB format by combining three values – the amounts of red, green and blue in a particular shade of color. These color hex codes have been an integral part of HTML for web design, and remain a key way of representing color formats digitally. |
| CSS | CSS stands for cascading style sheets and refers to the code that defines how different page elements display visually. This code is usually applied in the background so that page elements have a consistent look. For example, the size and font for an h2 heading level can be defined by CSS. The code in this resource is called "inline CSS" because it is added to each page with the HTML code. Ideally, we would not be doing this, but Canvas does not provide very many built-in options. |
| Float | CSS property related to the position of a page element, such as a box or image. For example, if you use float-right on an image, it will be positioned on the right side of the page. |
| Header | Table headings created with <th> tags |
| Heading | Page headings created with <h> tags |
| Horizontal rule | The <hr> tag defines a thematic break in an HTML page (e.g. a shift of topic). This element is most often displayed as a horizontal line that spans the width of the webpage. It is used to separate content (or define a change) in an HTML page. |
| HTML | HTML stands for hypertext markup language and refers to the tags that define types of content such as headings, paragraph text, images etc. |
| iFrame | The HTML code used to embed an element so that it appears as part of your page even though it is still on the source page. A common example is embedding a YouTube video. The video is still on the YouTube platform but appears to be on your page as well. |

| Margin | The space around an element - between the element and other elements. |
