You want to learn HTML, right?
Having a proper cheat sheet will make your life a ton of easier.
When I started out with web development (back in 2004), I used have a cheat sheet, too. Now it’s all in my head, though.
Whether you’re savvy web developer or just a trying to experiment a little, feel free to use this HTML cheat sheet below. I originally made it for my self, but since the launch of HTML5 I decided to update it, make it look better and share it on my website.
I’ve listed out all the mainstream HTML tags as well as the new HTML5 tags.
Enjoy.

Thanks for sharing this.

Really good sheet, I like the not supported tags being highlighted. We are making cheat sheets for our SEO and site set ups within Google which includes the structured data stuff.

Hi Deepak,
Best way is to start off with WordPress and then learn some additional HTML & CSS.

Hi,
Will you do a CSS3 Cheat Sheet ? I daily use the HTML5 one, and have the same thing for CSS3 would be awesome ! 🙂
Robert Mening

Completely new to html…. I have an aerial view of a campus and have a img map created with click able areas. I want the areas defined to be one color and highlights another color when mouse hover overs it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

+1 because the PNG is not printable without killing my office printer [ink].
Amber

Thank you so much for sharing this with all. Please give #3. HTML Cheat sheet in .png – in A4 pdf format. Kindly make it in white background so that it can be cheaper printing it (the dark background will consume too much ink). And lastly, not forgetting to make it down-loadable.
Lin
Thanks for sharing this cheatsheet!
Robert Mening
No problem 🙂
Jon
Is it too much to ask for the .HTML file? Haha if so I’d like the JS and JQ cheat sheets as well. Thanks!!
Robert Mening
Hey John. JQ cheat sheet is located here: https://websitesetup.org/jquery-cheat-sheet/

Many thanks for sharing this! I started learning HTML and CSS like a week ago and I was looking for something just like your cheat sheets to help me with the tags, hopefully I will remember most of them soon. Best wishes 🙂

At the bottom of the PNG image, in the “Collective Character Objects” section, there is a mistake for the last three entities.
(Uuml = Ü, ouml = ö, ucirc = û.)
The @-sign has no entity; bull = Bullet, trade = Trademark.
So, the table should read:
@ (no entity) @ sign /
• • Bullet /
™ ™ TM (Trademark)

Hi, I just started learning HTML and CSS few months ago. I’m a computer science student in my second year of college, I really love this stuff but I have a memory problem. I tend to forget a lot of things that I learn especially when it comes down to programming, I’m worried that due to my short memory I might never become good at this. Is this cheat sheet ok for first timers, somebody please tell me that I’m not alone!
Robert Mening
You’re not alone! It’s perfectly normal not to remember all of this stuff, especially the elements or attributes that rarely get used. You’ll remember the basics eventually after continuously using them and for the rest you’ll have cheat sheets like this – developers have to look up things online all the time 🙂
Terry
Thanks so much. These are great references. Just started with css so your guide is excellent.
Cheers.
