Developer Tools

Developer tools in web browsers are a set of built-in tools that allow developers to inspect and debug HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code. These tools are accessible by pressing F12 or right-clicking on a webpage and selecting "Inspect".

For instance, let's examine the google.com web page. By pressing F12, we can access the following view:

On the left side, we have Elements tab. It shows the HTML document structure. If we click on any element, we get styles of this element on the right side Styles tab. If we hover over any element, it will be highlighted on the web page which a user sees.

In addition to inspecting elements, developer tools allow you to modify HTML and CSS. Changes made are instantly reflected on the webpage but are not permanently saved to the source code. This feature is useful for testing and experimenting with markup and styles.

By employing standardized conventions, developers can ensure that their HTML code is easier to comprehend and work with.
